mm: Introduce new flag to indicate wc safe The VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED flag is implemented for ARM64, allowing KVM stage 2 device mapping attributes to use NormalNC rather than DEVICE_nGnRE, which allows guest mappings supporting write-combining attributes (WC). ARM does not architecturally guarantee this is safe, and indeed some MMIO regions like the GICv2 VCPU interface can trigger uncontained faults if NormalNC is used. Even worse, the expectation is that there are platforms where even DEVICE_nGnRE can allow uncontained faults in corner cases. Unfortunately existing ARM IP requires platform integration to take responsibility to prevent this. To safely use VFIO in KVM the platform must guarantee full safety in the guest where no action taken against a MMIO mapping can trigger an uncontained failure. The assumption is that most VFIO PCI platforms support this for both mapping types, at least in common flows, based on some expectations of how PCI IP is integrated. This can be enabled more broadly, for instance into vfio-platform drivers, but only after the platform vendor completes auditing for safety. The VMA flag VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED was found to be the simplest and cleanest way to communicate the information from VFIO to KVM that mapping the region in S2 as NormalNC is safe. KVM consumes it to activate the code that does the S2 mapping as NormalNC.

mm: make folios_put() the basis of release_pages() Patch series "Rearrange batched folio freeing", v3. Other than the obvious "remove calls to compound_head" changes, the fundamental belief here is that iterating a linked list is much slower than iterating an array (5-15x slower in my testing). There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.

fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap() In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in better performance. __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple tree, so it is efficient. The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number of VMAs. The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log that introduces __mt_dup(). After duplicating the maple tree, each element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which are rare). Since it is only a replacement operation for each element, this process is also O(n). Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node, pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes. The frequency of each action is difficult to calculate. The worst-case scenario for a single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level. If we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this is a loose upper bound. However, based on the test data, it appears that the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n). As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap() fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in the maple tree. To handle this, we mark the failure point with XA_ZERO_ENTRY. In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point. There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with different number of VMAs. Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds, corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the original performance. 21 121 221 421 821 1621 3221 6421 12821 25621 51221 112100 76261 54227 34035 20195 11112 6017 3161 1606 802 393 114558 83067 65008 45824 28751 16072 8922 4747 2436 1233 599 2.19% 8.92% 19.88% 34.64% 42.37% 44.64% 48.28% 50.17% 51.68% 53.74% 52.42% [1] https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench/tree/master Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231027033845.90608-11-zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Peng Zhang <zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com> Suggested-by: Liam R.

mm, pmem, xfs: Introduce MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE for unbind Now, if we suddenly remove a PMEM device(by calling unbind) which contains FSDAX while programs are still accessing data in this device, e.g.: ``` $FSSTRESS_PROG -d $SCRATCH_MNT -n 99999 -p 4 & # $FSX_PROG -N 1000000 -o 8192 -l 500000 $SCRATCH_MNT/t001 & echo "pfn1.1" > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nd_pmem/unbind ``` it could come into an unacceptable state: 1. device has gone but mount point still exists, and umount will fail with "target is busy" 2. programs will hang and cannot be killed 3. may crash with NULL pointer dereference To fix this, we introduce a MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE flag to let it know that we are going to remove the whole device, and make sure all related processes could be notified so that they could end up gracefully. This patch is inspired by Dan's "mm, dax, pmem: Introduce dev_pagemap_failure()"[1]. With the help of dax_holder and ->notify_failure() mechanism, the pmem driver is able to ask filesystem on it to unmap all files in use, and notify processes who are using those files. Call trace: trigger unbind -> unbind_store() -> ... (skip) -> devres_release_all() -> kill_dax() -> dax_holder_notify_failure(dax_dev, 0, U64_MAX, MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE) -> xfs_dax_notify_failure() `-> freeze_super() // freeze (kernel call) `-> do xfs rmap ` -> mf_dax_kill_procs() ` -> collect_procs_fsdax() // all associated processes ` -> unmap_and_kill() ` -> invalidate_inode_pages2_range() // drop file's cache `-> thaw_super() // thaw (both kernel & user call) Introduce MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE to let filesystem know this is a remove event. Use the exclusive freeze/thaw[2] to lock the filesystem to prevent new dax mapping from being created. Do not shutdown filesystem directly if configuration is not supported, or if failure range includes metadata area. Make sure all files and processes(not only the current progress) are handled correctly. Also drop the cache of associated files before pmem is removed.

mm: fix VMA heap bounds checking After converting selinux to VMA heap check helper, the gcl triggers an execheap SELinux denial, which is caused by a changed logic check. Previously selinux only checked that the VMA range was within the VMA heap range, and the implementation checks the intersection between the two ranges, but the corner case (vm_end=start_brk, brk=vm_start) isn't handled correctly. Since commit 11250fd12eb8 ("mm: factor out VMA stack and heap checks") was only a function extraction, it seems that the issue was introduced by commit 0db0c01b53a1 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/maps heap check").

mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(), rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage). vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node(). Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers". It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8bfd ("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit. Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index". Originally I thought it could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot be decided. And how ilx is applied depends also on page order. The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE: with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg (though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the same order). vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but it is not used, and should be removed when agreed. get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g. swapoff and madvise used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.

mm: update memfd seal write check to include F_SEAL_WRITE The seal_check_future_write() function is called by shmem_mmap() or hugetlbfs_file_mmap() to disallow any future writable mappings of an memfd sealed this way. The F_SEAL_WRITE flag is not checked here, as that is handled via the mapping->i_mmap_writable mechanism and so any attempt at a mapping would fail before this could be run. However we intend to change this, meaning this check can be performed for F_SEAL_WRITE mappings also. The logic here is equally applicable to both flags, so update this function to accommodate both and rename it accordingly. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/913628168ce6cce77df7d13a63970bae06a526e0.1697116581.git.lstoakes@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writable Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4. The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following about F_SEAL_WRITE:- Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM. With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate. This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness. This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug report [2]. This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable. It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any point be written to. If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE. We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful consideration of error paths. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion! [1]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230324133646.16101dfa666f253c4715d965@linux-foundation.org/ [2]:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238 This patch (of 3): There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the case. Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable field to explicitly test for this by introducing [vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions. This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees that the VMA cannot be written to.

mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern for mprotect() et al. mprotect() and other functions which change VMA parameters over a range each employ a pattern of:- 1. Attempt to merge the range with adjacent VMAs. 2. If this fails, and the range spans a subset of the VMA, split it accordingly. This is open-coded and duplicated in each case. Also in each case most of the parameters passed to vma_merge() remain the same. Create a new function, vma_modify(), which abstracts this operation, accepting only those parameters which can be changed. To avoid the mess of invoking each function call with unnecessary parameters, create inline wrapper functions for each of the modify operations, parameterised only by what is required to perform the action. We can also significantly simplify the logic - by returning the VMA if we split (or merged VMA if we do not) we no longer need specific handling for merge/split cases in any of the call sites. Note that the userfaultfd_release() case works even though it does not split VMAs - since start is set to vma->vm_start and end is set to vma->vm_end, the split logic does not trigger. In addition, since we calculate pgoff to be equal to vma->vm_pgoff + (start - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, and start - vma->vm_start will be 0 in this instance, this invocation will remain unchanged. We eliminate a VM_WARN_ON() in mprotect_fixup() as this simply asserts that vma_merge() correctly ensures that flags remain the same, something that is already checked in is_mergeable_vma() and elsewhere, and in any case is not specific to mprotect().

mm: make __access_remote_vm() static Patch series "various improvements to the GUP interface", v2. A series of fixes to simplify and improve the GUP interface with an eye to providing groundwork to future improvements:- * __access_remote_vm() and access_remote_vm() are functionally identical, so make the former static such that in future we can potentially change the external-facing implementation details of this function. * Extend is_valid_gup_args() to cover the missing FOLL_TOUCH case, and simplify things by defining INTERNAL_GUP_FLAGS to check against. * Adjust __get_user_pages_locked() to explicitly treat a failure to pin any pages as an error in all circumstances other than FOLL_NOWAIT being specified, bringing it in line with the nommu implementation of this function. * (With many thanks to Arnd who suggested this in the first instance) Update get_user_page_vma_remote() to explicitly only return a page or an error, simplifying the interface and avoiding the questionable IS_ERR_OR_NULL() pattern. This patch (of 4): access_remote_vm() passes through parameters to __access_remote_vm() directly, so remove the __access_remote_vm() function from mm.h and use access_remote_vm() in the one caller that needs it (ptrace_access_vm()). This allows future adjustments to the GUP-internal __access_remote_vm() function while keeping the access_remote_vm() function stable.

mm: add statistics for PUD level pagetable Recently, we found that cross-die access to pagetable pages on ARM64 machines can cause performance fluctuations in our business. Currently, there are no PMU events available to track this situation on our ARM64 machines, so accurate pagetable accounting can help to analyze this issue, but now the PUD level pagetable accounting is missed. So introduce pagetable_pud_ctor/dtor() to help to get accurate PUD pagetable accounting, as well as converting the architectures which use generic PUD pagetable allocation to add corresponding PUD pagetable accounting. Moreover this patch will mark the PUD level pagetable with PG_table flag, which will help to do sanity validation in unpoison_memory(). On my testing machine, I can see more pagetables statistics after the patch with page-types tool: Before patch: flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000004000000 27326 106 __________________________g_________________ pgtable After patch: 0x0000000004000000 27541 107 __________________________g_________________ pgtable Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/876c71c03a7e69c17722a690e3225a4f7b172fb2.1695017383.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Acked-by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) <rppt@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vishal Moola (Oracle) <vishal.moola@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@alpha.franken.de> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm/mremap: allow moves within the same VMA for stack moves For the stack move happening in shift_arg_pages(), the move is happening within the same VMA which spans the old and new ranges. In case the aligned address happens to fall within that VMA, allow such moves and don't abort the mremap alignment optimization. In the regular non-stack mremap case, we cannot allow any such moves as will end up destroying some part of the mapping (either the source of the move, or part of the existing mapping). So just avoid it for stack moves.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

mm: Add guard pages around a shadow stack. The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. The architecture of shadow stack constrains the ability of userspace to move the shadow stack pointer (SSP) in order to prevent corrupting or switching to other shadow stacks. The RSTORSSP instruction can move the SSP to different shadow stacks, but it requires a specially placed token in order to do this. However, the architecture does not prevent incrementing the stack pointer to wander onto an adjacent shadow stack. To prevent this in software, enforce guard pages at the beginning of shadow stack VMAs, such that there will always be a gap between adjacent shadow stacks. Make the gap big enough so that no userspace SSP changing operations (besides RSTORSSP), can move the SSP from one stack to the next. The SSP can be incremented or decremented by CALL, RET and INCSSP. CALL and RET can move the SSP by a maximum of 8 bytes, at which point the shadow stack would be accessed. The INCSSP instruction can also increment the shadow stack pointer. It is the shadow stack analog of an instruction like: addq $0x80, %rsp However, there is one important difference between an ADD on %rsp and INCSSP. In addition to modifying SSP, INCSSP also reads from the memory of the first and last elements that were "popped". It can be thought of as acting like this: READ_ONCE(ssp); // read+discard top element on stack ssp += nr_to_pop * 8; // move the shadow stack READ_ONCE(ssp-8); // read+discard last popped stack element The maximum distance INCSSP can move the SSP is 2040 bytes, before it would read the memory. Therefore, a single page gap will be enough to prevent any operation from shifting the SSP to an adjacent stack, since it would have to land in the gap at least once, causing a fault. This could be accomplished by using VM_GROWSDOWN, but this has a downside. The behavior would allow shadow stacks to grow, which is unneeded and adds a strange difference to how most regular stacks work. In the maple tree code, there is some logic for retrying the unmapped area search if a guard gap is violated. This retry should happen for shadow stack guard gap violations as well. This logic currently only checks for VM_GROWSDOWN for start gaps. Since shadow stacks also have a start gap as well, create an new define VM_STARTGAP_FLAGS to hold all the VM flag bits that have start gaps, and make mmap use it.

mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory New hardware extensions implement support for shadow stack memory, such as x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). Add a new VM flag to identify these areas, for example, to be used to properly indicate shadow stack PTEs to the hardware. Shadow stack VMA creation will be tightly controlled and limited to anonymous memory to make the implementation simpler and since that is all that is required. The solution will rely on pte_mkwrite() to create the shadow stack PTEs, so it will not be required for vm_get_page_prot() to learn how to create shadow stack memory. For this reason document that VM_SHADOW_STACK should not be mixed with VM_SHARED.

mm: Make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). Future patches will make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Previous work pte_mkwrite() renamed pte_mkwrite_novma() and converted callers that don't have a VMA were to use pte_mkwrite_novma(). So now change pte_mkwrite() to take a VMA and change the remaining callers to pass a VMA. Apply the same changes for pmd_mkwrite(). No functional change.

mm: handle swap page faults under per-VMA lock When page fault is handled under per-VMA lock protection, all swap page faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry has to drop and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could not be immediately locked. Follow the same pattern as mmap_lock to drop per-VMA lock when waiting for folio and retrying once folio is available. With this obstacle removed, enable do_swap_page to operate under per-VMA lock protection. Drivers implementing ops->migrate_to_ram might still rely on mmap_lock, therefore we have to fall back to mmap_lock in that particular case. Note that the only time do_swap_page calls synchronous swap_readpage is when SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set, which is only set for QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS devices: brd, zram and nvdimms (both btt and pmem). Therefore we don't sleep in this path, and there's no need to drop the mmap or per-VMA lock.

Functions that focus on the descriptor are prefixed with ptdesc_* while functions that focus on the pagetable are prefixed with pagetable_*. pagetable_alloc() is defined to allocate new ptdesc pages as compound pages. This is to standardize ptdescs by allowing for one allocation and one free function, in contrast to 2 allocation and 2 free functions.

Also in some cases (like in dup_userfaultfd()) vma should be locked earlier than vma_flags modification. To make locking more visible, change these functions to assert that the vma write lock is taken and explicitly lock the vma beforehand. Fix userfaultfd functions which should lock the vma earlier.

mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some architectures. With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb vmemmap optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into a different config. s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is not enabled for them. With this change, arm64 should be able to select DAX optimization [1] commit 060a2c92d1b6 ("arm64: mm: hugetlb: Disable HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230724190759.483013-8-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm/vmemmap: improve vmemmap_can_optimize and allow architectures to override dax vmemmap optimization requires a minimum of 2 PAGE_SIZE area within vmemmap such that tail page mapping can point to the second PAGE_SIZE area.

mm: change do_vmi_align_munmap() tracking of VMAs to remove The majority of the calls to munmap a vm range is within a single vma. The maple tree is able to store a single entry at 0, with a size of 1 as a pointer and avoid any allocations. Change do_vmi_align_munmap() to store the VMAs being munmap()'ed into a tree indexed by the count. This will leverage the ability to store the first entry without a node allocation. Storing the entries into a tree by the count and not the vma start and end means changing the functions which iterate over the entries. Update unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() to take a maple state and a tree end address to support this functionality. Passing through the same maple state to unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() means the state needs to be reset between calls. This happens in the static unmap_region() and exit_mmap().

mm: don't drop VMA locks in mm_drop_all_locks() Despite its name, mm_drop_all_locks() does not drop _all_ locks; the mmap lock is held write-locked by the caller, and the caller is responsible for dropping the mmap lock at a later point (which will also release the VMA locks). Calling vma_end_write_all() here is dangerous because the caller might have write-locked a VMA with the expectation that it will stay write-locked until the mmap_lock is released, as usual. This _almost_ becomes a problem in the following scenario: An anonymous VMA A and an SGX VMA B are mapped adjacent to each other. Userspace calls munmap() on a range starting at the start address of A and ending in the middle of B. Hypothetical call graph with additional notes in brackets: do_vmi_align_munmap [begin first for_each_vma_range loop] vma_start_write [on VMA A] vma_mark_detached [on VMA A] __split_vma [on VMA B] sgx_vma_open [== new->vm_ops->open] sgx_encl_mm_add __mmu_notifier_register [luckily THIS CAN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN] mm_take_all_locks mm_drop_all_locks vma_end_write_all [drops VMA lock taken on VMA A before] vma_start_write [on VMA B] vma_mark_detached [on VMA B] [end first for_each_vma_range loop] vma_iter_clear_gfp [removes VMAs from maple tree] mmap_write_downgrade unmap_region mmap_read_unlock In this hypothetical scenario, while do_vmi_align_munmap() thinks it still holds a VMA write lock on VMA A, the VMA write lock has actually been invalidated inside __split_vma(). The call from sgx_encl_mm_add() to __mmu_notifier_register() can't actually happen here, as far as I understand, because we are duplicating an existing SGX VMA, but sgx_encl_mm_add() only calls __mmu_notifier_register() for the first SGX VMA created in a given process. So this could only happen in fork(), not on munmap(). But in my view it is just pure luck that this can't happen. Also, we wouldn't actually have any bad consequences from this in do_vmi_align_munmap(), because by the time the bug drops the lock on VMA A, we've already marked VMA A as detached, which makes it completely ineligible for any VMA-locked page faults. But again, that's just pure luck. So remove the vma_end_write_all(), so that VMA write locks are only ever released on mmap_write_unlock() or mmap_write_downgrade(). Also add comments to document the locking rules established by this patch.

mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT Unfortunately commit 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone()") missed that follow_page() and follow_trans_huge_pmd() never implicitly set FOLL_NUMA because they really don't want to fail on PROT_NONE-mapped pages -- either due to NUMA hinting or due to inaccessible (PROT_NONE) VMAs. As spelled out in commit 0b9d705297b2 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from gup/gup_fast"): "Other follow_page callers like KSM should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they would fail to get the pages if they use follow_page instead of get_user_pages." liubo reported [1] that smaps_rollup results are imprecise, because they miss accounting of pages that are mapped PROT_NONE. Further, it's easy to reproduce that KSM no longer works on inaccessible VMAs on x86-64, because pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() also indictaes "true" in inaccessible VMAs, and follow_page() refuses to return such pages right now. As KVM really depends on these NUMA hinting faults, removing the pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() handling in GUP code completely is not really an option. To fix the issues at hand, let's revive FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT to restore the original behavior for now and add better comments. Set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT independent of FOLL_FORCE in is_valid_gup_args(), to add that flag for all external GUP users. Note that there are three GUP-internal __get_user_pages() users that don't end up calling is_valid_gup_args() and consequently won't get FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT set. 1) get_dump_page(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE and wouldn't have honored NUMA hinting faults already. 2) populate_vma_page_range(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE on accessible VMAs, so it wouldn't have honored NUMA hinting faults already. 3) faultin_vma_page_range(): we similarly don't want to handle NUMA hinting faults. To make the combination of FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT work in inaccessible VMAs properly, we have to perform VMA accessibility checks in gup_can_follow_protnone(). As GUP-fast should reject such pages either way in pte_access_permitted()/pmd_access_permitted() -- for example on x86-64 and arm64 that both implement pte_protnone() -- let's just always fallback to ordinary GUP when stumbling over pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone(). As Linus notes [2], honoring NUMA faults might only make sense for selected GUP users. So we should really see if we can instead let relevant GUP callers specify it manually, and not trigger NUMA hinting faults from GUP as default. Prepare for that by making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT an external GUP flag and adding appropriate documenation. While at it, remove a stale comment from follow_trans_huge_pmd(): That comment for pmd_protnone() was added in commit 2b4847e73004 ("mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration"), which noted: THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration entries at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages Nowadays, we do have PMD migration entries, so the comment no longer applies. Let's drop it.

mm: fix memory ordering for mm_lock_seq and vm_lock_seq mm->mm_lock_seq effectively functions as a read/write lock; therefore it must be used with acquire/release semantics. A specific example is the interaction between userfaultfd_register() and lock_vma_under_rcu(). userfaultfd_register() does the following from the point where it changes a VMA's flags to the point where concurrent readers are permitted again (in a simple scenario where only a single private VMA is accessed and no merging/splitting is involved): userfaultfd_register userfaultfd_set_vm_flags vm_flags_reset vma_start_write down_write(&vma->vm_lock->lock) vma->vm_lock_seq = mm_lock_seq [marks VMA as busy] up_write(&vma->vm_lock->lock) vm_flags_init [sets VM_UFFD_* in __vm_flags] vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx.ctx = ctx mmap_write_unlock vma_end_write_all WRITE_ONCE(mm->mm_lock_seq, mm->mm_lock_seq + 1) [unlocks VMA] There are no memory barriers in between the __vm_flags update and the mm->mm_lock_seq update that unlocks the VMA, so the unlock can be reordered to above the `vm_flags_init()` call, which means from the perspective of a concurrent reader, a VMA can be marked as a userfaultfd VMA while it is not VMA-locked. That's bad, we definitely need a store-release for the unlock operation. The non-atomic write to vma->vm_lock_seq in vma_start_write() is mostly fine because all accesses to vma->vm_lock_seq that matter are always protected by the VMA lock. There is a racy read in vma_start_read() though that can tolerate false-positives, so we should be using WRITE_ONCE() to keep things tidy and data-race-free (including for KCSAN). On the other side, lock_vma_under_rcu() works as follows in the relevant region for locking and userfaultfd check: lock_vma_under_rcu vma_start_read vma->vm_lock_seq == READ_ONCE(vma->vm_mm->mm_lock_seq) [early bailout] down_read_trylock(&vma->vm_lock->lock) vma->vm_lock_seq == READ_ONCE(vma->vm_mm->mm_lock_seq) [main check] userfaultfd_armed checks vma->vm_flags & __VM_UFFD_FLAGS Here, the interesting aspect is how far down the mm->mm_lock_seq read can be reordered - if this read is reordered down below the vma->vm_flags access, this could cause lock_vma_under_rcu() to partly operate on information that was read while the VMA was supposed to be locked. To prevent this kind of downwards bleeding of the mm->mm_lock_seq read, we need to read it with a load-acquire. Some of the comment wording is based on suggestions by Suren. BACKPORT WARNING: One of the functions changed by this patch (which I've written against Linus' tree) is vma_try_start_write(), but this function no longer exists in mm/mm-everything. I don't know whether the merged version of this patch will be ordered before or after the patch that removes vma_try_start_write(). If you're backporting this patch to a tree with vma_try_start_write(), make sure this patch changes that function.

execve: always mark stack as growing down during early stack setup While our user stacks can grow either down (all common architectures) or up (parisc and the ia64 register stack), the initial stack setup when we copy the argument and environment strings to the new stack at execve() time is always done by extending the stack downwards. But it turns out that in commit 8d7071af8907 ("mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held"), as part of making the stack growing code more robust, 'expand_downwards()' was now made to actually check the vma flags: if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN)) return -EFAULT; and that meant that this execve-time stack expansion started failing on parisc, because on that architecture, the stack flags do not contain the VM_GROWSDOWN bit. At the same time the new check in expand_downwards() is clearly correct, and simplified the callers, so let's not remove it. The solution is instead to just codify the fact that yes, during execve(), the stack grows down. This not only matches reality, it ends up being particularly simple: we already have special execve-time flags for the stack (VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP) and use those flags to avoid page migration during this setup time (see vma_is_temporary_stack() and invalid_migration_vma()). So just add VM_GROWSDOWN to that set of temporary flags, and now our stack flags automatically match reality, and the parisc stack expansion works again. Note that the VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP bits will be cleared when the stack is finalized, so we only add the extra VM_GROWSDOWN bit on CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP architectures (ie parisc) rather than adding it in general.

mm: Update do_vmi_align_munmap() return semantics Since do_vmi_align_munmap() will always honor the downgrade request on the success, the callers no longer have to deal with confusing return codes. Since all callers that request downgrade actually want the lock to be dropped, change the downgrade to an unlock request. Note that the lock still needs to be held in read mode during the page table clean up to avoid races with a map request. Update do_vmi_align_munmap() to return 0 for success.

xtensa: fix NOMMU build with lock_mm_and_find_vma() conversion It turns out that xtensa has a really odd configuration situation: you can do a no-MMU config, but still have the page fault code enabled. Which doesn't sound all that sensible, but it turns out that xtensa can have protection faults even without the MMU, and we have this: config PFAULT bool "Handle protection faults" if EXPERT && !MMU default y help Handle protection faults. MMU configurations must enable it. noMMU configurations may disable it if used memory map never generates protection faults or faults are always fatal. If unsure, say Y. which completely violated my expectations of the page fault handling. End result: Guenter reports that the xtensa no-MMU builds all fail with arch/xtensa/mm/fault.c: In function ‘do_page_fault’: arch/xtensa/mm/fault.c:133:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘lock_mm_and_find_vma’ because I never exposed the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() function for the no-MMU case. Doing so is simple enough, and fixes the problem.

dax: enable dax fault handler to report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON When multiple processes mmap() a dax file, then at some point, a process issues a 'load' and consumes a hwpoison, the process receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR and with si_lsb set for the poison scope. Soon after, any other process issues a 'load' to the poisoned page (that is unmapped from the kernel side by memory_failure), it receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_ADRERR and without valid si_lsb. This is confusing to user, and is different from page fault due to poison in RAM memory, also some helpful information is lost. Channel dax backend driver's poison detection to the filesystem such that instead of reporting VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, it could report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. If user level block IO syscalls fail due to poison, the errno will be converted to EIO to maintain block API consistency.

mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument from the vm helper functions again. For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks. Let's see if any strange users really wanted that. It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy "expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock and take it for writing while expanding the vma. This makes it fairly straightforward to convert the remaining architectures. As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be valid. So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

To avoid making this a flag-day event, this still allows the old read-locking case for the trivial situations, and passes in a flag to say "is it write-locked". That way write-lockers can say "yes, I'm being careful", and legacy users will continue to work in all the common cases until they have been fully converted to the new world order.

mm: introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper .. and make x86 use it. This basically extracts the existing x86 "find and expand faulting vma" code, but extends it to also take the mmap lock for writing in case we actually do need to expand the vma. We've historically short-circuited that case, and have some rather ugly special logic to serialize the stack segment expansion (since we only hold the mmap lock for reading) that doesn't match the normal VM locking. That slight violation of locking worked well, right up until it didn't: the maple tree code really does want proper locking even for simple extension of an existing vma. So extract the code for "look up the vma of the fault" from x86, fix it up to do the necessary write locking, and make it available as a helper function for other architectures that can use the common helper. Note: I say "common helper", but it really only handles the normal stack-grows-down case. Which is all architectures except for PA-RISC and IA64. So some rare architectures can't use the helper, but if they care they'll just need to open-code this logic. It's also worth pointing out that this code really would like to have an optimistic "mmap_upgrade_trylock()" to make it quicker to go from a read-lock (for the common case) to taking the write lock (for having to extend the vma) in the normal single-threaded situation where there is no other locking activity. But that _is_ all the very uncommon special case, so while it would be nice to have such an operation, it probably doesn't matter in reality. I did put in the skeleton code for such a possible future expansion, even if it only acts as pseudo-documentation for what we're doing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: pass nid to reserve_bootmem_region() early_pfn_to_nid() is called frequently in init_reserved_page(), it returns the node id of the PFN. These PFN are probably from the same memory region, they have the same node id. It's not necessary to call early_pfn_to_nid() for each PFN. Pass nid to reserve_bootmem_region() and drop the call to early_pfn_to_nid() in init_reserved_page(). Also, set nid on all reserved pages before doing this, as some reserved memory regions may not be set nid. The most beneficial function is memmap_init_reserved_pages() if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled.

mm/pgtable: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail Make pte_offset_map() a wrapper for __pte_offset_map() (optionally outputs pmdval), pte_offset_map_lock() a sparse __cond_lock wrapper for __pte_offset_map_lock(): those __funcs added in mm/pgtable-generic.c. __pte_offset_map() do pmdval validation (including pmd_clear_bad() when pmd_bad()), returning NULL if pmdval is not for a page table. __pte_offset_map_lock() verify pmdval unchanged after getting the lock, trying again if it changed. No #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE around them: that could be done to cover the imminent case, but we expect to generalize it later, and it makes a mess of where to do the pmd_bad() clearing. Add pte_offset_map_nolock(): outputs ptl like pte_offset_map_lock(), without actually taking the lock. This will be preferred to open uses of pte_lockptr(), because (when split ptlock is in page table's struct page) it points to the right lock for the returned pte pointer, even if *pmd gets changed racily afterwards. Update corresponding Documentation. Do not add the anticipated rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s yet: they have to wait until all architectures are balancing pte_offset_map()s with pte_unmap()s (as in the arch series posted earlier). But comment where they will go, so that it's easy to add them for experiments. And only when those are in place can transient racy failure cases be enabled. Add more safety for the PAE mismatched pmd_low pmd_high case at that time.

mm/mmap: separate writenotify and dirty tracking logic Patch series "mm/gup: disallow GUP writing to file-backed mappings by default", v9. Writing to file-backed mappings which require folio dirty tracking using GUP is a fundamentally broken operation, as kernel write access to GUP mappings do not adhere to the semantics expected by a file system. A GUP caller uses the direct mapping to access the folio, which does not cause write notify to trigger, nor does it enforce that the caller marks the folio dirty. The problem arises when, after an initial write to the folio, writeback results in the folio being cleaned and then the caller, via the GUP interface, writes to the folio again. As a result of the use of this secondary, direct, mapping to the folio no write notify will occur, and if the caller does mark the folio dirty, this will be done so unexpectedly. For example, consider the following scenario:- 1. A folio is written to via GUP which write-faults the memory, notifying the file system and dirtying the folio. 2. Later, writeback is triggered, resulting in the folio being cleaned and the PTE being marked read-only. 3. The GUP caller writes to the folio, as it is mapped read/write via the direct mapping. 4. The GUP caller, now done with the page, unpins it and sets it dirty (though it does not have to). This change updates both the PUP FOLL_LONGTERM slow and fast APIs. As pin_user_pages_fast_only() does not exist, we can rely on a slightly imperfect whitelisting in the PUP-fast case and fall back to the slow case should this fail. This patch (of 3): vma_wants_writenotify() is specifically intended for setting PTE page table flags, accounting for existing page table flag state and whether the underlying filesystem performs dirty tracking for a file-backed mapping. Everything is predicated firstly on whether the mapping is shared writable, as this is the only instance where dirty tracking is pertinent - MAP_PRIVATE mappings will always be CoW'd and unshared, and read-only file-backed shared mappings cannot be written to, even with FOLL_FORCE. All other checks are in line with existing logic, though now separated into checks eplicitily for dirty tracking and those for determining how to set page table flags. We make this change so we can perform checks in the GUP logic to determine which mappings might be problematic when written to.

mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote() The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the VMA directly. In particular:- - __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply remove it. - __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the code. We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote(). As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should the VMA lookup fail.

mm/gup: remove unused vmas parameter from get_user_pages() Patch series "remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs", v6. (pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range. These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm->mmap_lock is never released during the GUP operation (i.e. the internal flag FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified). In addition, these VMAs can only be accessed with the mmap_lock held and become invalidated the moment it is released. The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of those that do, all but one case retrieve a single VMA to perform checks upon. It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the operation with a vma_lookup(). In these cases we duplicate the (fast) lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock, abstracted to a new get_user_page_vma_remote() inline helper function which also performs error checking and reference count maintenance. The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to assert that the VMAs underlying the range do not result in broken long-term GUP file-backed mappings. As GUP now internally asserts that FOLL_LONGTERM mappings are not file-backed in a broken fashion (i.e. requiring dirty tracking) - as implemented in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast writing to file-backed mappings" - this logic is no longer required and so we can simply remove it altogether from io_uring. Eliminating the vmas parameter eliminates an entire class of danging pointer errors that might have occured should the lock have been incorrectly released. In addition, the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is intended for - applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning pinned pages. This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths. I have run this series against gup_test with no issues. Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring! This patch (of 6): No invocation of get_user_pages() use the vmas parameter, so remove it. The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling pointers. Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions implied by the input flags. This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter altogether.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

The difference from collect_procs_anon() is that it also needs to traverse the rmap-item list on the stable node of the ksm page. At the same time, add_to_kill_ksm() is added to handle ksm pages. And task_in_to_kill_list() is added to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to the to_kill list. This is because when scanning the list, if the pages that make up the ksm page all come from the same process, they may be added repeatedly.

mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults copy-on-write of hugetlb user pages with uncorrectable errors will result in a kernel crash. This is because the copy is performed in kernel mode and in general we can not handle accessing memory with such errors while in kernel mode. Commit a873dfe1032a ("mm, hwpoison: try to recover from copy-on write faults") introduced the routine copy_user_highpage_mc() to gracefully handle copying of user pages with uncorrectable errors. However, the separate hugetlb copy-on-write code paths were not modified as part of commit a873dfe1032a. Modify hugetlb copy-on-write code paths to use copy_mc_user_highpage() so that they can also gracefully handle uncorrectable errors in user pages. This involves changing the hugetlb specific routine copy_user_large_folio() from type void to int so that it can return an error. Modify the hugetlb userfaultfd code in the same way so that it can return -EHWPOISON if it encounters an uncorrectable error.

mm/vmemmap/devdax: fix kernel crash when probing devdax devices commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps") added support for using optimized vmmemap for devdax devices. But how vmemmap mappings are created are architecture specific. For example, powerpc with hash translation doesn't have vmemmap mappings in init_mm page table instead they are bolted table entries in the hardware page table vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() used by vmemmap optimization code is not aware of these architecture-specific mapping. Hence allow architecture to opt for this feature. I selected architectures supporting HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP option as also supporting this feature. This patch fixes the below crash on ppc64.

sched/numa: implement access PID reset logic This helps to ensure that only recently accessed PIDs scan the VMAs. Current implementation: (idea supported by PeterZ) 1. Accessing PID information is maintained in two windows. access_pids[1] being newest. 2. Reset old access PID info i.e. access_pid[0] every (4 * sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval after initial scan delay period expires. The above interval seemed to be experimentally optimum since it avoids frequent reset of access info as well as helps clearing the old access info regularly. The reset logic is implemented in scan path.

sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic During Numa scanning make sure only relevant vmas of the tasks are scanned. Before: All the tasks of a process participate in scanning the vma even if they do not access vma in it's lifespan. Now: Except cases of first few unconditional scans, if a process do not touch vma (exluding false positive cases of PID collisions) tasks no longer scan all vma Logic used: 1) 6 bits of PID used to mark active bit in vma numab status during fault to remember PIDs accessing vma. (Thanks Mel) 2) Subsequently in scan path, vma scanning is skipped if current PID had not accessed vma. 3) First two times we do allow unconditional scan to preserve earlier behaviour of scanning.

sched/numa: apply the scan delay to every new vma Pach series "sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning", v3. The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning suggested by Mel. This is continuation of [3]. Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1) Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from per-thread stats. Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better. During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance current numa balancing. One of the suggestion was below Track what threads access a VMA. The suggestion was to use an unsigned long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads access a VMA. Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault. This would be approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas the thread is not interested in. The above suggestion intends not to penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning overhead. V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes) Summary of patchset: Current patchset implements: 1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks (implementation by Mel) 2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows. It is regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval. The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data 3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information 4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks which had not accessed VMA Changes since V2: patch1: - Renaming of structure, macro to function, - Add explanation to heuristics - Adding more details from result (PeterZ) Patch2: - Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ) - Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep() - Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan (PeterZ) Patch3: - Maintain two windows of access PID information (PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend to N if needed) Patch4: - Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ) Changes since RFC V1: - Include Mel's vma scan delay patch - Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel) - Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel) - Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel) - Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport) Things to ponder over: ========================================== - Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history) - Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see frequent tries to scan. Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve results further.

mm: separate vma->lock from vm_area_struct vma->lock being part of the vm_area_struct causes performance regression during page faults because during contention its count and owner fields are constantly updated and having other parts of vm_area_struct used during page fault handling next to them causes constant cache line bouncing. Fix that by moving the lock outside of the vm_area_struct. All attempts to keep vma->lock inside vm_area_struct in a separate cache line still produce performance regression especially on NUMA machines. Smallest regression was achieved when lock is placed in the fourth cache line but that bloats vm_area_struct to 256 bytes. Considering performance and memory impact, separate lock looks like the best option. It increases memory footprint of each VMA but that can be optimized later if the new size causes issues. Note that after this change vma_init() does not allocate or initialize vma->lock anymore. A number of drivers allocate a pseudo VMA on the stack but they never use the VMA's lock, therefore it does not need to be allocated. The future drivers which might need the VMA lock should use vm_area_alloc()/vm_area_free() to allocate the VMA.

mm/mmap: free vm_area_struct without call_rcu in exit_mmap call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled. Its use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when multiple VMAs are being freed. Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without the use of call_rcu(). Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

When VMA is not found, can't be locked or changes after being locked, the function returns NULL. The lookup is performed under RCU protection to prevent the found VMA from being destroyed before the VMA lock is acquired. VMA lock statistics are updated according to the results. For now only anonymous VMAs can be searched this way. In other cases the function returns NULL.

mm/khugepaged: write-lock VMA while collapsing a huge page Protect VMA from concurrent page fault handler while collapsing a huge page. Page fault handler needs a stable PMD to use PTL and relies on per-VMA lock to prevent concurrent PMD changes. pmdp_collapse_flush(), set_huge_pmd() and collapse_and_free_pmd() can modify a PMD, which will not be detected by a page fault handler without proper locking. Before this patch, page tables can be walked under any one of the mmap_lock, the mapping lock, and the anon_vma lock; so when khugepaged unlinks and frees page tables, it must ensure that all of those either are locked or don't exist. This patch adds a fourth lock under which page tables can be traversed, and so khugepaged must also lock out that one.

mm: add per-VMA lock and helper functions to control it Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a per-vma and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking: - read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma (vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ. If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere. - read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock unlock. - write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter. This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified under exclusive vma lock. - write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm sequence counter (mm_lock_seq). - write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write unlock).

mm: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_prot() Patch series "Remove drm/ttm-specific mm changes". Functionality was added specifically for the DRM TTM driver to support mapping memory for VM_MIXEDMAP VMAs with customised protection flags, however this has now been rolled back as issues were found with this approach. This series removes the mm changes too, retaining some of the useful comments. This patch (of 3): The sole user of vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), the drm ttm module, stopped using this in commit f91142c62161 ("drm/ttm: nuke VM_MIXEDMAP on BO mappings v3") citing use of VM_MIXEDMAP in this case being terribly broken. Remove this now-dead code and references to it, but retain the useful description of the prot != vma->vm_page_prot case, moving it to vmf_insert_pfn_prot() instead.

mm: Introduce untagged_addr_remote() untagged_addr() removes tags/metadata from the address and brings it to the canonical form. The helper is implemented on arm64 and sparc. Both of them do untagging based on global rules. However, Linear Address Masking (LAM) on x86 introduces per-process settings for untagging. As a result, untagged_addr() is now only suitable for untagging addresses for the current proccess. The new helper untagged_addr_remote() has to be used when the address targets remote process. It requires the mmap lock for target mm to be taken. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: add folio_get_nontail_page() Patch series "Convert a couple migrate functions to use folios", v2. This patchset introduces folio_movable_ops() and converts 3 functions in mm/migrate.c to use folios. It also introduces folio_get_nontail_page() for folio conversions which may want to distinguish between head and tail pages. This patch (of 4): folio_get_nontail_page() returns the folio associated with a head page. This is necessary for folio conversions where the behavior of that function differs between head pages and tail pages.

mm: add folio_estimated_sharers() Patch series "Convert various mempolicy.c functions to use folios", v4. This patch series converts migrate_page_add() and queue_pages_required() to migrate_folio_add() and queue_page_required(). It also converts the callers of the functions to use folios as well, and introduces a helper function to estimate the number of sharers of a folio. This patch (of 6): folio_estimated_sharers() takes in a folio and returns the precise number of times the first subpage of the folio is mapped. This function aims to provide an estimate for the number of sharers of a folio. This is necessary for folio conversions where we care about the number of processes that share a folio, but don't necessarily want to check every single page within that folio. This is in contrast to folio_mapcount() which calculates the total number of the times a folio and all its subpages are mapped.

mm: memory-failure: add memory failure stats to sysfs Patch series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error statistics", v2. Background ========== In the RFC for Kernel Support of Memory Error Detection [1], one advantage of software-based scanning over hardware patrol scrubber is the ability to make statistics visible to system administrators. The statistics include 2 categories: * Memory error statistics, for example, how many memory error are encountered, how many of them are recovered by the kernel. Note these memory errors are non-fatal to kernel: during the machine check exception (MCE) handling kernel already classified MCE's severity to be unnecessary to panic (but either action required or optional). * Scanner statistics, for example how many times the scanner have fully scanned a NUMA node, how many errors are first detected by the scanner. The memory error statistics are useful to userspace and actually not specific to scanner detected memory errors, and are the focus of this patchset. Motivation ========== Memory error stats are important to userspace but insufficient in kernel today. Datacenter administrators can better monitor a machine's memory health with the visible stats. For example, while memory errors are inevitable on servers with 10+ TB memory, starting server maintenance when there are only 1~2 recovered memory errors could be overreacting; in cloud production environment maintenance usually means live migrate all the workload running on the server and this usually causes nontrivial disruption to the customer. Providing insight into the scope of memory errors on a system helps to determine the appropriate follow-up action. In addition, the kernel's existing memory error stats need to be standardized so that userspace can reliably count on their usefulness. Today kernel provides following memory error info to userspace, but they are not sufficient or have disadvantages: * HardwareCorrupted in /proc/meminfo: number of bytes poisoned in total, not per NUMA node stats though * ras:memory_failure_event: only available after explicitly enabled * /dev/mcelog provides many useful info about the MCEs, but doesn't capture how memory_failure recovered memory MCEs * kernel logs: userspace needs to process log text Exposing memory error stats is also a good start for the in-kernel memory error detector. Today the data source of memory error stats are either direct memory error consumption, or hardware patrol scrubber detection (either signaled as UCNA or SRAO). Once in-kernel memory scanner is implemented, it will be the main source as it is usually configured to scan memory DIMMs constantly and faster than hardware patrol scrubber. How Implemented =============== As Naoya pointed out [2], exposing memory error statistics to userspace is useful independent of software or hardware scanner. Therefore we implement the memory error statistics independent of the in-kernel memory error detector. It exposes the following per NUMA node memory error counters: /sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/total /sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/recovered /sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/ignored /sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/failed /sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/delayed These counters describe how many raw pages are poisoned and after the attempted recoveries by the kernel, their resolutions: how many are recovered, ignored, failed, or delayed respectively. This approach can be easier to extend for future use cases than /proc/meminfo, trace event, and log. The following math holds for the statistics: * total = recovered + ignored + failed + delayed These memory error stats are reset during machine boot. The 1st commit introduces these sysfs entries. The 2nd commit populates memory error stats every time memory_failure attempts memory error recovery. The 3rd commit adds documentations for introduced stats.

mm/nommu: factor out check for NOMMU shared mappings into is_nommu_shared_mapping() Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings". Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings. This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is actually means. Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead. This patch (of 3): We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED, !CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings that are an effective overlay of a file mapping. Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into is_nommu_shared_mapping() first. Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well (unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for VM_SHARED manually. No functional change intended.

mm: remove zap_page_range and create zap_vma_pages zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with the new vma should be made. Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following: - Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and can use this new routine. - For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call zap_page_range_single(). - Remove zap_page_range.

mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole procedure of change_protection(). The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE. Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long": 1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes a long type. 2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future. Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(), where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow too during the int-size convertion.

This patch series modifies the callers of deactivate_page() to use folios. It also introduces vm_normal_folio() to assist with folio conversions, and converts deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate() which takes in a folio. This patch (of 4): Introduce a wrapper function called vm_normal_folio(). This function calls vm_normal_page() and returns the folio of the page found, or null if no page is found.

sched: Introduce per-memory-map concurrency ID This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range, and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu data structures. This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field. The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures efficiently in the following situations: - Single-threaded applications, - Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited cpu affinity mask, - Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with restricted cgroup cpuset per container. One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is implemented. On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map, transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map. Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to justify the added complexity. The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme.

mm/gup: Add FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE We have had FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE but it was never applied to GUPs. One issue with it is that not all GUP paths are able to handle signal delivers besides SIGKILL. That's not ideal for the GUP users who are actually able to handle these cases, like KVM. KVM uses GUP extensively on faulting guest pages, during which we've got existing infrastructures to retry a page fault at a later time. Allowing the GUP to be interrupted by generic signals can make KVM related threads to be more responsive. For examples: (1) SIGUSR1: which QEMU/KVM uses to deliver an inter-process IPI, e.g. when the admin issues a vm_stop QMP command, SIGUSR1 can be generated to kick the vcpus out of kernel context immediately, (2) SIGINT: which can be used with interactive hypervisor users to stop a virtual machine with Ctrl-C without any delays/hangs, (3) SIGTRAP: which grants GDB capability even during page faults that are stuck for a long time. Normally hypervisor will be able to receive these signals properly, but not if we're stuck in a GUP for a long time for whatever reason. It happens easily with a stucked postcopy migration when e.g. a network temp failure happens, then some vcpu threads can hang death waiting for the pages. With the new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE, we can allow GUP users like KVM to selectively enable the ability to trap these signals.

mm: add folio dtor and order setter functions Patch series "convert core hugetlb functions to folios", v5. ============== OVERVIEW =========================== Now that many hugetlb helper functions that deal with hugetlb specific flags[1] and hugetlb cgroups[2] are converted to folios, higher level allocation, prep, and freeing functions within hugetlb can also be converted to operate in folios. Patch 1 of this series implements the wrapper functions around setting the compound destructor and compound order for a folio. Besides the user added in patch 1, patch 2 and patch 9 also use these helper functions. Patches 2-10 convert the higher level hugetlb functions to folios. ============== TESTING =========================== LTP: Ran 10 back to back rounds of the LTP hugetlb test suite.

mm/gup: reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings We already support reliable R/O pinning of anonymous memory. However, assume we end up pinning (R/O long-term) a pagecache page or the shared zeropage inside a writable private ("COW") mapping. The next write access will trigger a write-fault and replace the pinned page by an exclusive anonymous page in the process page tables to break COW: the pinned page no longer corresponds to the page mapped into the process' page table. Now that FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE can break COW on anything mapped into a COW mapping, let's properly break COW first before R/O long-term pinning something that's not an exclusive anon page inside a COW mapping. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will break COW and map an exclusive anon page instead that can get pinned safely. With this change, we can stop using FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings. With this change, the new R/O long-term pinning tests for non-anonymous memory succeed: # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with shared zeropage ok 151 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd ok 152 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with tmpfile ok 153 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with huge zeropage ok 154 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB) ok 155 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB) ok 156 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with shared zeropage ok 157 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd ok 158 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with tmpfile ok 159 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with huge zeropage ok 160 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB) ok 161 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB) ok 162 Longterm R/O pin is reliable Note 1: We don't care about short-term R/O-pinning, because they have snapshot semantics: they are not supposed to observe modifications that happen after pinning. As one example, assume we start direct I/O to read from a page and store page content into a file: modifications to page content after starting direct I/O are not guaranteed to end up in the file. So even if we'd pin the shared zeropage, the end result would be as expected -- getting zeroes stored to the file. Note 2: For shared mappings we'll now always fallback to the slow path to lookup the VMA when R/O long-term pining. While that's the necessary price we have to pay right now, it's actually not that bad in practice: most FOLL_LONGTERM users already specify FOLL_WRITE, for example, along with FOLL_FORCE because they tried dealing with COW mappings correctly ... Note 3: For users that use FOLL_LONGTERM right now without FOLL_WRITE, such as VFIO, we'd now no longer pin the shared zeropage. Instead, we'd populate exclusive anon pages that we can pin. There was a concern that this could affect the memlock limit of existing setups. For example, a VM running with VFIO could run into the memlock limit and fail to run. However, we essentially had the same behavior already in commit 17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue") which got merged into some enterprise distros, and there were not any such complaints. So most probably, we're fine.

mm: anonymous shared memory naming Since commit 9a10064f5625 ("mm: add a field to store names for private anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as useful for tracking purposes. Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon. There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or directly via mmap(): 1. fd = memfd_create(...) mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...) 2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...) In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs. The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names. Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous shared memory (not private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are running in their own processes). However, the VM tells back to the VMM how parts of the memory are actually used by the guest, how each of the segments should be backed (i.e. 4K pages, 2M pages), and some other information about the segments. The naming allows us to monitor the effective memory footprint for each of these segments from the host without looking inside the guest. Sample output: /* Create shared anonymous segmenet */ anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); /* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */ rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME"); cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps): 7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME] If the segment is not named, the output is: 7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221115020602.804224-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Signed-off-by: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@gmail.com> Cc: Colin Cross <ccross@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Kirill A .

mm: teach release_pages() to take an array of encoded page pointers too release_pages() already could take either an array of page pointers, or an array of folio pointers. Expand it to also accept an array of encoded page pointers, which is what both the existing mlock() use and the upcoming mmu_gather use of encoded page pointers wants. Note that release_pages() won't actually use, or react to, any extra encoded bits. Instead, this is very much a case of "I have walked the array of encoded pages and done everything the extra bits tell me to do, now release it all". Also, while the "either page or folio pointers" dual use was handled with a cast of the pointer in "release_folios()", this takes a slightly different approach and uses the "transparent union" attribute to describe the set of arguments to the function: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Type-Attributes.html which has been supported by gcc forever, but the kernel hasn't used before. That allows us to avoid using various wrappers with casts, and just use the same function regardless of use.

mm/autonuma: use can_change_(pte|pmd)_writable() to replace savedwrite commit b191f9b106ea ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault") added remembering write permissions using ordinary pte_write() for PROT_NONE mapped pages to avoid write faults when remapping the page !PROT_NONE on NUMA hinting faults. That commit noted: The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was discarded. Later, commit 288bc54949fc ("mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.") introduced a family of savedwrite PTE functions that didn't necessarily improve the whole situation. One confusing thing is that nowadays, if a page is pte_protnone() and pte_savedwrite() then also pte_write() is true. Another source of confusion is that there is only a single pte_mk_savedwrite() call in the kernel. All other write-protection code seems to silently rely on pte_wrprotect(). Ever since PageAnonExclusive was introduced and we started using it in mprotect context via commit 64fe24a3e05e ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection"), we do have machinery in place to avoid write faults when changing protection, which is exactly what we want to do here. Let's similarly do what ordinary mprotect() does nowadays when upgrading write permissions and reuse can_change_pte_writable() and can_change_pmd_writable() to detect if we can upgrade PTE permissions to be writable. For anonymous pages there should be absolutely no change: if an anonymous page is not exclusive, it could not have been mapped writable -- because only exclusive anonymous pages can be mapped writable. However, there *might* be a change for writable shared mappings that require writenotify: if they are not dirty, we cannot map them writable. While it might not matter in practice, we'd need a different way to identify whether writenotify is actually required -- and ordinary mprotect would benefit from that as well. Note that we don't optimize for the actual migration case: (1) When migration succeeds the new PTE will not be writable because the source PTE was not writable (protnone); in the future we might just optimize that case similarly by reusing can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() when removing migration PTEs. (2) When migration fails, we'd have to recalculate the "writable" flag because we temporarily dropped the PT lock; for now keep it simple and set "writable=false". We'll remove all savedwrite leftovers next.

mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount COMPOUND_MAPPED if PMD-mapped Can the lock_compound_mapcount() bit_spin_lock apparatus be removed now? Yes. Not by atomic64_t or cmpxchg games, those get difficult on 32-bit; but if we slightly abuse subpages_mapcount by additionally demanding that one bit be set there when the compound page is PMD-mapped, then a cascade of two atomic ops is able to maintain the stats without bit_spin_lock. This is harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but I believe safe; and no drift in stats detected when testing. When there are racing removes and adds, of course the sequence of operations is less well- defined; but each operation on subpages_mapcount is atomically good. What might be disastrous, is if subpages_mapcount could ever fleetingly appear negative: but the pte lock (or pmd lock) these rmap functions are called under, ensures that a last remove cannot race ahead of a first add. Continue to make an exception for hugetlb (PageHuge) pages, though that exception can be easily removed by a further commit if necessary: leave subpages_mapcount 0, don't bother with COMPOUND_MAPPED in its case, just carry on checking compound_mapcount too in folio_mapped(), page_mapped(). Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous implementation in all cases (pmds after ptes now taking around 103ms); and relieves us of worrying about contention on the bit_spin_lock.

mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount of PTE-mapped subpages Patch series "mm,thp,rmap: rework the use of subpages_mapcount", v2. This patch (of 3): Following suggestion from Linus, instead of counting every PTE map of a compound page in subpages_mapcount, just count how many of its subpages are PTE-mapped: this yields the exact number needed for NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED stats, without any need for a locked scan of subpages; and requires updating the count less often. This does then revert total_mapcount() and folio_mapcount() to needing a scan of subpages; but they are inherently racy, and need no locking, so Linus is right that the scans are much better done there. Plus (unlike in 6.1 and previous) subpages_mapcount lets us avoid the scan in the common case of no PTE maps. And page_mapped() and folio_mapped() remain scanless and just as efficient with the new meaning of subpages_mapcount: those are the functions which I most wanted to remove the scan from. The updated page_dup_compound_rmap() is no longer suitable for use by anon THP's __split_huge_pmd_locked(); but page_add_anon_rmap() can be used for that, so long as its VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked) is deleted. Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous implementation for most cases; but significantly faster in the (now scanless) pmds after ptes case, which started out at 870ms and was brought down to 495ms by the previous series, now takes around 105ms.

mm,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines. Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap. page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case). But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount 0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch. Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter Currently mm_struct maintains rss_stats which are updated on page fault and the unmapping codepaths. For page fault codepath the updates are cached per thread with the batch of TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH which is 64. The reason for caching is performance for multithreaded applications otherwise the rss_stats updates may become hotspot for such applications. However this optimization comes with the cost of error margin in the rss stats. The rss_stats for applications with large number of threads can be very skewed. At worst the error margin is (nr_threads * 64) and we have a lot of applications with 100s of threads, so the error margin can be very high. Internally we had to reduce TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH to 32. Recently we started seeing the unbounded errors for rss_stats for specific applications which use TCP rx0cp. It seems like vm_insert_pages() codepath does not sync rss_stats at all. This patch converts the rss_stats into percpu_counter to convert the error margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately (nr_cpus ^ 2). However this conversion enable us to get the accurate stats for situations where accuracy is more important than the cpu cost. This patch does not make such tradeoffs - we can just use percpu_counter_add_local() for the updates and percpu_counter_sum() (or percpu_counter_sync() + percpu_counter_read) for the readers. At the moment the readers are either procfs interface, oom_killer and memory reclaim which I think are not performance critical and should be ok with slow read. However I think we can make that change in a separate patch.

mm: introduce FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA to gate getting PCI P2PDMA pages GUP Callers that expect PCI P2PDMA pages can now set FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA to allow obtaining P2PDMA pages. If GUP is called without the flag and a P2PDMA page is found, it will return an error in try_grab_page() or try_grab_folio(). The check is safe to do before taking the reference to the page in both cases seeing the page should be protected by either the appropriate ptl or mmap_lock; or the gup fast guarantees preventing TLB flushes. try_grab_folio() has one call site that WARNs on failure and cannot actually deal with the failure of this function (it seems it will get into an infinite loop). Expand the comment there to document a couple more conditions on why it will not fail. FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA cannot be set if FOLL_LONGTERM is set.

mm/hwpoison: introduce per-memory_block hwpoison counter Currently PageHWPoison flag does not behave well when experiencing memory hotremove/hotplug. Any data field in struct page is unreliable when the associated memory is offlined, and the current mechanism can't tell whether a memory block is onlined because a new memory devices is installed or because previous failed offline operations are undone. Especially if there's a hwpoisoned memory, it's unclear what the best option is. So introduce a new mechanism to make struct memory_block remember that a memory block has hwpoisoned memory inside it. And make any online event fail if the onlining memory block contains hwpoison. struct memory_block is freed and reallocated over ACPI-based hotremove/hotplug, but not over sysfs-based hotremove/hotplug. So the new counter can distinguish these cases.

This patchset tries to solve the issue among memory_hotplug, hugetlb and hwpoison. In this patchset, memory hotplug handles hwpoison pages like below: - hwpoison pages should not prevent memory hotremove, - memory block with hwpoison pages should not be onlined. This patch (of 4): HWPoisoned page is not supposed to be accessed once marked, but currently such accesses can happen during memory hotremove because do_migrate_range() can be called before dissolve_free_huge_pages() is called. Clear HPageMigratable for hwpoisoned hugepages to prevent them from being migrated. This should be done in hugetlb_lock to avoid race against isolate_hugetlb(). get_hwpoison_huge_page() needs to have a flag to show it's called from unpoison to take refcount of hwpoisoned hugepages, so add it.

hugetlb: don't delete vma_lock in hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED processing madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) ends up calling zap_page_range() to clear page tables associated with the address range. For hugetlb vmas, zap_page_range will call __unmap_hugepage_range_final. However, __unmap_hugepage_range_final assumes the passed vma is about to be removed and deletes the vma_lock to prevent pmd sharing as the vma is on the way out. In the case of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the vma remains, but the missing vma_lock prevents pmd sharing and could potentially lead to issues with truncation/fault races. This issue was originally reported here [1] as a BUG triggered in page_try_dup_anon_rmap. Prior to the introduction of the hugetlb vma_lock, __unmap_hugepage_range_final cleared the VM_MAYSHARE flag to prevent pmd sharing. Subsequent faults on this vma were confused as VM_MAYSHARE indicates a sharable vma, but was not set so page_mapping was not set in new pages added to the page table. This resulted in pages that appeared anonymous in a VM_SHARED vma and triggered the BUG. Address issue by adding a new zap flag ZAP_FLAG_UNMAP to indicate an unmap call from unmap_vmas(). This is used to indicate the 'final' unmapping of a hugetlb vma. When called via MADV_DONTNEED, this flag is not set and the vm_lock is not deleted.

madvise: use zap_page_range_single for madvise dontneed This series addresses the issue first reported in [1], and fully described in patch 2. Patches 1 and 2 address the user visible issue and are tagged for stable backports. While exploring solutions to this issue, related problems with mmu notification calls were discovered. This is addressed in the patch "hugetlb: remove duplicate mmu notifications:". Since there are no user visible effects, this third is not tagged for stable backports. Previous discussions suggested further cleanup by removing the routine zap_page_range. This is possible because zap_page_range_single is now exported, and all callers of zap_page_range pass ranges entirely within a single vma. This work will be done in a later patch so as not to distract from this bug fix. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAO4mrfdLMXsao9RF4fUE8-Wfde8xmjsKrTNMNC9wjUb6JudD0g@mail.gmail.com/ This patch (of 2): Expose the routine zap_page_range_single to zap a range within a single vma. The madvise routine madvise_dontneed_single_vma can use this routine as it explicitly operates on a single vma. Also, update the mmu notification range in zap_page_range_single to take hugetlb pmd sharing into account. This is required as MADV_DONTNEED supports hugetlb vmas.

mm: reduce noise in show_mem for lowmem allocations While discussing early DMA pool pre-allocation failure with Christoph [1] I have realized that the allocation failure warning is rather noisy for constrained allocations like GFP_DMA{32}. Those zones are usually not populated on all nodes very often as their memory ranges are constrained. This is an attempt to reduce the ballast that doesn't provide any relevant information for those allocation failures investigation. Please note that I have only compile tested it (in my default config setup) and I am throwing it mostly to see what people think about it.

mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone() Patch series "mm: minor cleanups around NUMA hinting". Working on some GUP cleanups (e.g., getting rid of some FOLL_ flags) and preparing for other GUP changes (getting rid of FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for for taking a R/O longterm pin), this is something I can easily send out independently. Get rid of FOLL_NUMA, allow FOLL_FORCE access to PROT_NONE mapped pages in GUP-fast, and fixup some documentation around NUMA hinting. This patch (of 3): No need for a special flag that is not even properly documented to be internal-only. Let's just factor this check out and get rid of this flag. The separate function has the nice benefit that we can centralize comments.

mm/mmap: reorganize munmap to use maple states Remove __do_munmap() in favour of do_munmap(), do_mas_munmap(), and do_mas_align_munmap(). do_munmap() is a wrapper to create a maple state for any callers that have not been converted to the maple tree. do_mas_munmap() takes a maple state to mumap a range. This is just a small function which checks for error conditions and aligns the end of the range. do_mas_align_munmap() uses the aligned range to mumap a range. do_mas_align_munmap() starts with the first VMA in the range, then finds the last VMA in the range. Both start and end are split if necessary. Then the VMAs are removed from the linked list and the mm mlock count is updated at the same time. Followed by a single tree operation of overwriting the area in with a NULL. Finally, the detached list is unmapped and freed. By reorganizing the munmap calls as outlined, it is now possible to avoid extra work of aligning pre-aligned callers which are known to be safe, avoid extra VMA lookups or tree walks for modifications. detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped() is no longer used, so drop this code. vm_brk_flags() can just call the do_mas_munmap() as it checks for intersecting VMAs directly.

kernel/fork: use maple tree for dup_mmap() during forking The maple tree was already tracking VMAs in this function by an earlier commit, but the rbtree iterator was being used to iterate the list. Change the iterator to use a maple tree native iterator and switch to the maple tree advanced API to avoid multiple walks of the tree during insert operations. Unexport the now-unused vma_store() function. For performance reasons we bulk allocate the maple tree nodes. The node calculations are done internally to the tree and use the VMA count and assume the worst-case node requirements. The VM_DONT_COPY flag does not allow for the most efficient copy method of the tree and so a bulk loading algorithm is used.

mm: start tracking VMAs with maple tree Start tracking the VMAs with the new maple tree structure in parallel with the rb_tree. Add debug and trace events for maple tree operations and duplicate the rb_tree that is created on forks into the maple tree. The maple tree is added to the mm_struct including the mm_init struct, added support in required mm/mmap functions, added tracking in kernel/fork for process forking, and used to find the unmapped_area and checked against what the rbtree finds. This also moves the mmap_lock() in exit_mmap() since the oom reaper call does walk the VMAs. Otherwise lockdep will be unhappy if oom happens. When splitting a vma fails due to allocations of the maple tree nodes, the error path in __split_vma() calls new->vm_ops->close(new). The page accounting for hugetlb is actually in the close() operation, so it accounts for the removal of 1/2 of the VMA which was not adjusted. This results in a negative exit value. To avoid the negative charge, set vm_start = vm_end and vm_pgoff = 0. There is also a potential accounting issue in special mappings from insert_vm_struct() failing to allocate, so reverse the charge there in the failure scenario.

mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path. This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to (max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm: fix PageAnonExclusive clearing racing with concurrent RCU GUP-fast commit 6c287605fd56 ("mm: remember exclusively mapped anonymous pages with PG_anon_exclusive") made sure that when PageAnonExclusive() has to be cleared during temporary unmapping of a page, that the PTE is cleared/invalidated and that the TLB is flushed. What we want to achieve in all cases is that we cannot end up with a pin on an anonymous page that may be shared, because such pins would be unreliable and could result in memory corruptions when the mapped page and the pin go out of sync due to a write fault. That TLB flush handling was inspired by an outdated comment in mm/ksm.c:write_protect_page(), which similarly required the TLB flush in the past to synchronize with GUP-fast. However, ever since general RCU GUP fast was introduced in commit 2667f50e8b81 ("mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()"), a TLB flush is no longer sufficient to handle concurrent GUP-fast in all cases -- it only handles traditional IPI-based GUP-fast correctly. Peter Xu (thankfully) questioned whether that TLB flush is really required. On architectures that send an IPI broadcast on TLB flush, it works as expected. To synchronize with RCU GUP-fast properly, we're conceptually fine, however, we have to enforce a certain memory order and are missing memory barriers. Let's document that, avoid the TLB flush where possible and use proper explicit memory barriers where required. We shouldn't really care about the additional memory barriers here, as we're not on extremely hot paths -- and we're getting rid of some TLB flushes. We use a smp_mb() pair for handling concurrent pinning and a smp_rmb()/smp_wmb() pair for handling the corner case of only temporary PTE changes but permanent PageAnonExclusive changes. One extreme example, whereby GUP-fast takes a R/O pin and KSM wants to convert an exclusive anonymous page to a KSM page, and that page is already mapped write-protected (-> no PTE change) would be: Thread 0 (KSM) Thread 1 (GUP-fast) (B1) Read the PTE # (B2) skipped without FOLL_WRITE (A1) Clear PTE smp_mb() (A2) Check pinned (B3) Pin the mapped page smp_mb() (A3) Clear PageAnonExclusive smp_wmb() (A4) Restore PTE (B4) Check if the PTE changed smp_rmb() (B5) Check PageAnonExclusive Thread 1 will properly detect that PageAnonExclusive was cleared and back off. Note that we don't need a memory barrier between checking if the page is pinned and clearing PageAnonExclusive, because stores are not speculated. The possible issues due to reordering are of theoretical nature so far and attempts to reproduce the race failed. Especially the "no PTE change" case isn't the common case, because we'd need an exclusive anonymous page that's mapped R/O and the PTE is clean in KSM code -- and using KSM with page pinning isn't extremely common. Further, the clear+TLB flush we used for now implies a memory barrier. So the problematic missing part should be the missing memory barrier after pinning but before checking if the PTE changed.

Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm. In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a 2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are as follows, pmbench score promote rate (accesses/s) MB/s ------------- ------------ base 146887704.1 725.6 hot selection 165695601.2 544.0 rate limit 162814569.8 165.2 auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9 From the results above, With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about 12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with base kernel. With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection patch. With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about 4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit patch. Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains 1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G). sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \ ...... --tables=200 \ --table-size=1000000 \ --report-interval=10 \ --threads=16 \ --time=120 The tps can be improved about 5%. This patch (of 3): To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing, the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm is better. So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm. Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault as follows, - When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan time. - When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault latency is defined as hint page fault time - scan time The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold. It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time. Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing. NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before. For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot threshold will be considered hot. It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic adjustment mechanism. The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload hot spot changing may be much longer. For example, - A previous cold memory area becomes hot - The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will not be promoted. - When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period, the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot threshold and the pages will be promoted. To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node, the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the hint page fault for fast response. Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling memory tiering mode dynamically.

mm/gup: fix FOLL_FORCE COW security issue and remove FOLL_COW Ever since the Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) security issue happened, we know that FOLL_FORCE can be possibly dangerous, especially if there are races that can be exploited by user space. Right now, it would be sufficient to have some code that sets a PTE of a R/O-mapped shared page dirty, in order for it to erroneously become writable by FOLL_FORCE. The implications of setting a write-protected PTE dirty might not be immediately obvious to everyone. And in fact ever since commit 9ae0f87d009c ("mm/shmem: unconditionally set pte dirty in mfill_atomic_install_pte"), we can use UFFDIO_CONTINUE to map a shmem page R/O while marking the pte dirty. This can be used by unprivileged user space to modify tmpfs/shmem file content even if the user does not have write permissions to the file, and to bypass memfd write sealing -- Dirty COW restricted to tmpfs/shmem (CVE-2022-2590). To fix such security issues for good, the insight is that we really only need that fancy retry logic (FOLL_COW) for COW mappings that are not writable (!VM_WRITE). And in a COW mapping, we really only broke COW if we have an exclusive anonymous page mapped. If we have something else mapped, or the mapped anonymous page might be shared (!PageAnonExclusive), we have to trigger a write fault to break COW. If we don't find an exclusive anonymous page when we retry, we have to trigger COW breaking once again because something intervened. Let's move away from this mandatory-retry + dirty handling and rely on our PageAnonExclusive() flag for making a similar decision, to use the same COW logic as in other kernel parts here as well. In case we stumble over a PTE in a COW mapping that does not map an exclusive anonymous page, COW was not properly broken and we have to trigger a fake write-fault to break COW. Just like we do in can_change_pte_writable() added via commit 64fe24a3e05e ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection") and commit 76aefad628aa ("mm/mprotect: fix soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable()"), take care of softdirty and uffd-wp manually. For example, a write() via /proc/self/mem to a uffd-wp-protected range has to fail instead of silently granting write access and bypassing the userspace fault handler. Note that FOLL_FORCE is not only used for debug access, but also triggered by applications without debug intentions, for example, when pinning pages via RDMA. This fixes CVE-2022-2590. Note that only x86_64 and aarch64 are affected, because only those support CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR. Fortunately, FOLL_COW is no longer required to handle FOLL_FORCE. So let's just get rid of it. Thanks to Nadav Amit for pointing out that the pte_dirty() check in FOLL_FORCE code is problematic and might be exploitable. Note 1: We don't check for the PTE being dirty because it doesn't matter for making a "was COWed" decision anymore, and whoever modifies the page has to set the page dirty either way. Note 2: Kernels before extended uffd-wp support and before PageAnonExclusive (< 5.19) can simply revert the problematic commit instead and be safe regarding UFFDIO_CONTINUE. A backport to v5.19 requires minor adjustments due to lack of vma_soft_dirty_enabled().

mm, hwpoison: set PG_hwpoison for busy hugetlb pages If memory_failure() fails to grab page refcount on a hugetlb page because it's busy, it returns without setting PG_hwpoison on it. This not only loses a chance of error containment, but breaks the rule that action_result() should be called only when memory_failure() do any of handling work (even if that's just setting PG_hwpoison). This inconsistency could harm code maintainability. So set PG_hwpoison and call hugetlb_set_page_hwpoison() for such a case.

mm/mmap: build protect protection_map[] with __P000 Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop __SXXX/__PXXX macros from across platforms", v7. __SXXX/__PXXX macros are unnecessary abstraction layer in creating the generic protection_map[] array which is used for vm_get_page_prot(). This abstraction layer can be avoided, if the platforms just define the array protection_map[] for all possible vm_flags access permission combinations and also export vm_get_page_prot() implementation. This series drops __SXXX/__PXXX macros from across platforms in the tree. First it build protects generic protection_map[] array with '#ifdef __P000' and moves it inside platforms which enable ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. Later this build protects same array with '#ifdef ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT' and moves inside remaining platforms while enabling ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. This adds a new macro DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT defining the current generic vm_get_page_prot(), in order for it to be reused on platforms that do not require custom implementation. Finally, ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT can just be dropped, as all platforms now define and export vm_get_page_prot(), via looking up a private and static protection_map[] array. protection_map[] data type has been changed as 'static const' on all platforms that do not change it during boot. This patch (of 26): Build protect generic protection_map[] array with __P000, so that it can be moved inside all the platforms one after the other. Otherwise there will be build failures during this process. CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT cannot be used for this purpose as only certain platforms enable this config now.

mm: rename is_pinnable_page() to is_longterm_pinnable_page() Patch series "Add MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT for coherent device memory mapping", v9. This patch series introduces MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT, a type of memory owned by a device that can be mapped into CPU page tables like MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC and can also be migrated like MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE. This patch series is mostly self-contained except for a few places where it needs to update other subsystems to handle the new memory type. System stability and performance are not affected according to our ongoing testing, including xfstests. How it works: The system BIOS advertises the GPU device memory (aka VRAM) as SPM (special purpose memory) in the UEFI system address map. The amdgpu driver registers the memory with devmap as MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT using devm_memremap_pages. The initial user for this hardware page migration capability is the Frontier supercomputer project. This functionality is not AMD-specific. We expect other GPU vendors to find this functionality useful, and possibly other hardware types in the future. Our test nodes in the lab are similar to the Frontier configuration, with .5 TB of system memory plus 256 GB of device memory split across 4 GPUs, all in a single coherent address space. Page migration is expected to improve application efficiency significantly. We will report empirical results as they become available. Coherent device type pages at gup are now migrated back to system memory if they are being pinned long-term (FOLL_LONGTERM). The reason is, that long-term pinning would interfere with the device memory manager owning the device-coherent pages (e.g. evictions in TTM). These series incorporate Alistair Popple patches to do this migration from pin_user_pages() calls. hmm_gup_test has been added to hmm-test to test different get user pages calls. This series includes handling of device-managed anonymous pages returned by vm_normal_pages. Although they behave like normal pages for purposes of mapping in CPU page tables and for COW, they do not support LRU lists, NUMA migration or THP. We also introduced a FOLL_LRU flag that adds the same behaviour to follow_page and related APIs, to allow callers to specify that they expect to put pages on an LRU list. This patch (of 14): is_pinnable_page() and folio_is_pinnable() are renamed to is_longterm_pinnable_page() and folio_is_longterm_pinnable() respectively. These functions are used in the FOLL_LONGTERM flag context.

mm: add folios_put() Patch series "Convert the swap code to be more folio-based". There's still more to do with the swap code, but this reaps a lot of the folio benefit. More than 4kB of kernel text saved (with the UEK7 kernel config). I don't know how much that's going to translate into CPU savings, but some of those compound_head() calls are on every page free, so it should be noticable. It might even be noticable just from an I-cache consumption perspective. This patch (of 22): This is just a wrapper around release_pages() for now. Place the prototype in mm.h along with folio_put() and folio_put_refs().

mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection Similar to our MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT handling for shared, writable mappings, we can try mapping anonymous pages in a private writable mapping writable if they are exclusive, the PTE is already dirty, and no special handling applies. Mapping the anonymous page writable is essentially the same thing the write fault handler would do in this case. Special handling is required for uffd-wp and softdirty tracking, so take care of that properly. Also, leave PROT_NONE handling alone for now; in the future, we could similarly extend the logic in do_numa_page() or use pte_mk_savedwrite() here. While this improves mprotect(PROT_READ)+mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) performance, it should also be a valuable optimization for uffd-wp, when un-protecting. This has been previously suggested by Peter Collingbourne in [1], relevant in the context of the Scudo memory allocator, before we had PageAnonExclusive. This commit doesn't add the same handling for PMDs (i.e., anonymous THP, anonymous hugetlb); benchmark results from Andrea indicate that there are minor performance gains, so it's might still be valuable to streamline that logic for all anonymous pages in the future. As we now also set MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT for private mappings, let's rename it to MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, to make it clearer what's actually happening.

mm: fix missing wake-up event for FSDAX pages FSDAX page refcounts are 1-based, rather than 0-based: if refcount is 1, then the page is freed. The FSDAX pages can be pinned through GUP, then they will be unpinned via unpin_user_page() using a folio variant to put the page, however, folio variants did not consider this special case, the result will be to miss a wakeup event (like the user of __fuse_dax_break_layouts()). This results in a task being permanently stuck in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state. Since FSDAX pages are only possibly obtained by GUP users, so fix GUP instead of folio_put() to lower overhead.

mm/memory-failure: disable unpoison once hw error happens Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft poison(hwpoison-inject) only. Since 17fae1294ad9d, the KPTE gets cleared on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts. Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE. This leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.

mm: fix is_pinnable_page against a cma page Pages in the CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA so the current is_pinnable_page() could miss CMA pages which have MIGRATE_ISOLATE. It ends up pinning CMA pages as longterm for the pin_user_pages() API so CMA allocations keep failing until the pin is released. CPU 0 CPU 1 - Task B cma_alloc alloc_contig_range pin_user_pages_fast(FOLL_LONGTERM) change pageblock as MIGRATE_ISOLATE internal_get_user_pages_fast lockless_pages_from_mm gup_pte_range try_grab_folio is_pinnable_page return true; So, pinned the page successfully. page migration failure with pinned page .. .. After 30 sec unpin_user_page(page) CMA allocation succeeded after 30 sec. The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race using zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the page is on CMA area or not rather than exact migration type. Thus, we don't need zone->lock but just checks migration type in either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA). Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause rejecting of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even though it's neither CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily unmovable. However, such a migration failure by unexpected temporal refcount holding is general issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also transient state like other temporal elevated refcount problem.

mm/hugetlb: only drop uffd-wp special pte if required As with shmem uffd-wp special ptes, only drop the uffd-wp special swap pte if unmapping an entire vma or synchronized such that faults can not race with the unmap operation. This requires passing zap_flags all the way to the lowest level hugetlb unmap routine: __unmap_hugepage_range. In general, unmap calls originated in hugetlbfs code will pass the ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag as synchronization is in place to prevent faults. The exception is hole punch which will first unmap without any synchronization. Later when hole punch actually removes the page from the file, it will check to see if there was a subsequent fault and if so take the hugetlb fault mutex while unmapping again. This second unmap will pass in ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER. The justification of "whether to apply ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag when unmap a hugetlb range" is (IMHO): we should never reach a state when a page fault could errornously fault in a page-cache page that was wr-protected to be writable, even in an extremely short period. That could happen if e.g. we pass ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER when hugetlbfs_punch_hole() calls hugetlb_vmdelete_list(), because if a page faults after that call and before remove_inode_hugepages() is executed, the page cache can be mapped writable again in the small racy window, that can cause unexpected data overwritten.

mm/shmem: persist uffd-wp bit across zapping for file-backed File-backed memory is prone to being unmapped at any time. It means all information in the pte will be dropped, including the uffd-wp flag. To persist the uffd-wp flag, we'll use the pte markers. This patch teaches the zap code to understand uffd-wp and know when to keep or drop the uffd-wp bit. Add a new flag ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER and set it in zap_details when we don't want to persist such an information, for example, when destroying the whole vma, or punching a hole in a shmem file. For the rest cases we should never drop the uffd-wp bit, or the wr-protect information will get lost. The new ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER needs to be put into mm.h rather than memory.c because it'll be further referenced in hugetlb files later.

mm/mprotect: use mmu_gather Patch series "mm/mprotect: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes", v6. This patchset is intended to remove unnecessary TLB flushes during mprotect() syscalls. Once this patch-set make it through, similar and further optimizations for MADV_COLD and userfaultfd would be possible. Basically, there are 3 optimizations in this patch-set: 1. Use TLB batching infrastructure to batch flushes across VMAs and do better/fewer flushes. This would also be handy for later userfaultfd enhancements. 2. Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes. This optimization is the one that provides most of the performance benefits. Unlike previous versions, we now only avoid flushes that would not result in spurious page-faults. 3. Avoiding TLB flushes on change_huge_pmd() that are only needed to prevent the A/D bits from changing. Andrew asked for some benchmark numbers. I do not have an easy determinate macrobenchmark in which it is easy to show benefit. I therefore ran a microbenchmark: a loop that does the following on anonymous memory, just as a sanity check to see that time is saved by avoiding TLB flushes. The loop goes: mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ) mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) *p = 0; // make the page writable The test was run in KVM guest with 1 or 2 threads (the second thread was busy-looping). I measured the time (cycles) of each operation: 1 thread 2 threads mmots +patch mmots +patch PROT_READ 3494 2725 (-22%) 8630 7788 (-10%) PROT_READ|WRITE 3952 2724 (-31%) 9075 2865 (-68%) [ mmots = v5.17-rc6-mmots-2022-03-06-20-38 ] The exact numbers are really meaningless, but the benefit is clear. There are 2 interesting results though. (1) PROT_READ is cheaper, while one can expect it not to be affected. This is presumably due to TLB miss that is saved (2) Without memory access (*p = 0), the speedup of the patch is even greater. In that scenario mprotect(PROT_READ) also avoids the TLB flush. As a result both operations on the patched kernel take roughly ~1500 cycles (with either 1 or 2 threads), whereas on mmotm their cost is as high as presented in the table. This patch (of 3): change_pXX_range() currently does not use mmu_gather, but instead implements its own deferred TLB flushes scheme. This both complicates the code, as developers need to be aware of different invalidation schemes, and prevents opportunities to avoid TLB flushes or perform them in finer granularity. The use of mmu_gather for modified PTEs has benefits in various scenarios even if pages are not released. For instance, if only a single page needs to be flushed out of a range of many pages, only that page would be flushed. If a THP page is flushed, on x86 a single TLB invlpg instruction can be used instead of 512 instructions (or a full TLB flush, which would Linux would actually use by default). mprotect() over multiple VMAs requires a single flush. Use mmu_gather in change_pXX_range(). As the pages are not released, only record the flushed range using tlb_flush_pXX_range(). Handle THP similarly and get rid of flush_cache_range() which becomes redundant since tlb_start_vma() calls it when needed.

mm/gup: trigger FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE when R/O-pinning a possibly shared anonymous page Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the page actually mapped into the page table. The possible ways to deal with this situation are: (1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now. (2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and could break user space. (3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O pins. Let's implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and allows for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs: when trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something went very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard to debug. So we better have a nice way to spot such issues. This change implies that whenever user space *wrote* to a private mapping (IOW, we have an anonymous page mapped), that GUP pins will always remain consistent: reliable R/O GUP pins of anonymous pages. As a side note, this commit fixes the COW security issue for hugetlb with FOLL_PIN as documented in: https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com The vmsplice reproducer still applies, because vmsplice uses FOLL_GET instead of FOLL_PIN. Note that follow_huge_pmd() doesn't apply because we cannot end up in there with FOLL_PIN. This commit is heavily based on prototype patches by Andrea.

mm/rmap: split page_dup_rmap() into page_dup_file_rmap() and page_try_dup_anon_rmap() ... and move the special check for pinned pages into page_try_dup_anon_rmap() to prepare for tracking exclusive anonymous pages via a new pageflag, clearing it only after making sure that there are no GUP pins on the anonymous page. We really only care about pins on anonymous pages, because they are prone to getting replaced in the COW handler once mapped R/O. For !anon pages in cow-mappings (!VM_SHARED && VM_MAYWRITE) we shouldn't really care about that, at least not that I could come up with an example. Let's drop the is_cow_mapping() check from page_needs_cow_for_dma(), as we know we're dealing with anonymous pages. Also, drop the handling of pinned pages from copy_huge_pud() and add a comment if ever supporting anonymous pages on the PUD level. This is a preparation for tracking exclusivity of anonymous pages in the rmap code, and disallowing marking a page shared (-> failing to duplicate) if there are GUP pins on a page.

mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages. Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate page for the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64 pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to initialize the rest of the tail pages. Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g. 1G PUD) it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page. On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages. Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate(). It is worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem. With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.

mm/sparse-vmemmap: add a pgmap argument to section activation Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9. This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page" (now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift (device-dax). The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages, and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section. The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6 vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages). This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift. In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down with compound devmap: * with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of total memory) * with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of total memory) The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the series does: Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry. Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings (also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax case. [Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces initialization.] Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift). NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to ~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning, and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs) This patch (of 5): In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed. So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate functions namely: sparse_add_section section_activate populate_section_memmap __populate_section_memmap Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections. While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().

random: move randomize_page() into mm where it belongs randomize_page is an mm function. It is documented like one. It contains the history of one. It has the naming convention of one. It looks just like another very similar function in mm, randomize_stack_top(). And it has always been maintained and updated by mm people. There is no need for it to be in random.c. In the "which shape does not look like the other ones" test, pointing to randomize_page() is correct. So move randomize_page() into mm/util.c, right next to the similar randomize_stack_top() function. This commit contains no actual code changes.

mm/hwpoison: fix race between hugetlb free/demotion and memory_failure_hugetlb() There is a race condition between memory_failure_hugetlb() and hugetlb free/demotion, which causes setting PageHWPoison flag on the wrong page. The one simple result is that wrong processes can be killed, but another (more serious) one is that the actual error is left unhandled, so no one prevents later access to it, and that might lead to more serious results like consuming corrupted data. Think about the below race window: CPU 1 CPU 2 memory_failure_hugetlb struct page *head = compound_head(p); hugetlb page might be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page. get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now... The current code first does prechecks roughly and then reconfirms after taking refcount, but it's found that it makes code overly complicated, so move the prechecks in a single hugetlb_lock range. A newly introduced function, try_memory_failure_hugetlb(), always takes hugetlb_lock (even for non-hugetlb pages). That can be improved, but memory_failure() is rare in principle, so should not be a big problem.

userfaultfd: provide unmasked address on page-fault Userfaultfd is supposed to provide the full address (i.e., unmasked) of the faulting access back to userspace. However, that is not the case for quite some time. Even running "userfaultfd_demo" from the userfaultfd man page provides the wrong output (and contradicts the man page). Notice that "UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event" shows the masked address (7fc5e30b3000) and not the first read address (0x7fc5e30b300f). Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fc5e30b3000 fault_handler_thread(): poll() returns: nready = 1; POLLIN = 1; POLLERR = 0 UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event: flags = 0; address = 7fc5e30b3000 (uffdio_copy.copy returned 4096) Read address 0x7fc5e30b300f in main(): A Read address 0x7fc5e30b340f in main(): A Read address 0x7fc5e30b380f in main(): A Read address 0x7fc5e30b3c0f in main(): A The exact address is useful for various reasons and specifically for prefetching decisions. If it is known that the memory is populated by certain objects whose size is not page-aligned, then based on the faulting address, the uffd-monitor can decide whether to prefetch and prefault the adjacent page. This bug has been for quite some time in the kernel: since commit 1a29d85eb0f1 ("mm: use vmf->address instead of of vmf->virtual_address") vmf->virtual_address"), which dates back to 2016. A concern has been raised that existing userspace application might rely on the old/wrong behavior in which the address is masked. Therefore, it was suggested to provide the masked address unless the user explicitly asks for the exact address. Add a new userfaultfd feature UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS to direct userfaultfd to provide the exact address. Add a new "real_address" field to vmf to hold the unmasked address. Provide the address to userspace accordingly. Initialize real_address in various code-paths to be consistent with address, even when it is not used, to be on the safe side.

mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with changing page compound again Patch series "A few fixup patches for memory failure", v2. This series contains a few patches to fix the race with changing page compound page, make non-LRU movable pages unhandlable and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just before we try to get hwpoison page. Think about the below race window: CPU 1 CPU 2 memory_failure_hugetlb struct page *head = compound_head(p); hugetlb page might be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page. get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now... If this race happens, just bail out. Also MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE is introduced to record this event.

arch/x86/mm/numa: Do not initialize nodes twice On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA nodes could be allocated at three different places. - numa_register_memblks - init_cpu_to_node - init_gi_nodes All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order: setup_arch ... x86_numa_init numa_init numa_register_memblks ... init_cpu_to_node init_memory_less_node alloc_node_data free_area_init_memoryless_node init_gi_nodes init_memory_less_node alloc_node_data free_area_init_memoryless_node numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds. Later on, when we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE. So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following: setup_arch x86_numa_init numa_init numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node x86_init.paging.pagetable_init ... free_area_init free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node init_cpu_to_node alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU free_area_init_memoryless_node init_gi_nodes alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator free_area_init_memoryless_node free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything, meaning we end up allocating twice. It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity. So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online. Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling __try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in bus_add_device().

The following shows the order of the calls: kernel_init_freeable smp_init bringup_nonboot_cpus ... bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet do_basic_setup do_initcalls postcore_initcall(register_node_type); register_node_type subsys_system_register subsys_register bus_register <- register node_subsys bus Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because __try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not end up calling register_one_node() in the first place. This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for the leaking memory issue.

mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE pages. Note that this excludes the special idle page wakeup for fsdax pages, which still happens at refcount 1. This is a separate issue and will be sorted out later. Given that only fsdax pages require the notifiacation when the refcount hits 1 now, the PAGEMAP_OPS Kconfig symbol can go away and be replaced with a FS_DAX check for this hook in the put_page fastpath.

mm/munlock: delete FOLL_MLOCK and FOLL_POPULATE If counting page mlocks, we must not double-count: follow_page_pte() can tell if a page has already been Mlocked or not, but cannot tell if a pte has already been counted or not: that will have to be done when the pte is mapped in (which lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() already tracks for new anon pages, but there's no such tracking yet for others). Delete all the FOLL_MLOCK code - faulting in the missing pages will do all that is necessary, without special mlock_vma_page() calls from here. But then FOLL_POPULATE turns out to serve no purpose - it was there so that its absence would tell faultin_page() not to faultin page when setting up VM_LOCKONFAULT areas; but if there's no special work needed here for mlock, then there's no work at all here for VM_LOCKONFAULT. Have I got that right? I've not looked into the history, but see that FOLL_POPULATE goes back before VM_LOCKONFAULT: did it serve a different purpose before? Ah, yes, it was used to skip the old stack guard page. And is it intentional that COW is not broken on existing pages when setting up a VM_LOCKONFAULT area? I can see that being argued either way, and have no reason to disagree with current behaviour.

mm/hwpoison: fix unpoison_memory() After recent soft-offline rework, error pages can be taken off from buddy allocator, but the existing unpoison_memory() does not properly undo the operation. Moreover, due to the recent change on __get_hwpoison_page(), get_page_unless_zero() is hardly called for hwpoisoned pages. So __get_hwpoison_page() highly likely returns -EBUSY (meaning to fail to grab page refcount) and unpoison just clears PG_hwpoison without releasing a refcount. That does not lead to a critical issue like kernel panic, but unpoisoned pages never get back to buddy (leaked permanently), which is not good. To (partially) fix this, we need to identify "taken off" pages from other types of hwpoisoned pages. We can't use refcount or page flags for this purpose, so a pseudo flag is defined by hacking ->private field. Someone might think that put_page() is enough to cancel taken-off pages, but the normal free path contains some operations not suitable for the current purpose, and can fire VM_BUG_ON(). Note that unpoison_memory() is now supposed to be cancel hwpoison events injected only by madvise() or /sys/devices/system/memory/{hard,soft}_offline_page, not by MCE injection, so please don't try to use unpoison when testing with MCE injection.

Colin Cross <ccross@google.com> |
mm: add a field to store names for private anonymous memory In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in use. At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big objects, etc.). Each of these layers usually has its own tools to inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way to track them. On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs. unique mappings, backing, etc. This can account for real physical memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages. It produces a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that share them (PSS). If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory across the whole system. Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems. It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody needs to clean up on crashes. It needs to be readable while the process is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with every layer of userspace. Efficiently tracking the ranges requires reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it from every layer of userspace. It requires more memory, more syscalls, more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that the kernel is already tracking. This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas. The names of named anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as [anon:<name>]. Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name) Setting the name to NULL clears it. The name length limit is 80 bytes including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'. Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas, which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or /proc/pid/smaps. Names can be standardized for a given system and they can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a library, tid of the thread using it, etc. The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct that points to a null terminated string. Anonymous vmas with the same name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged. The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the same name. The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage. CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this feature. It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas. The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal. It used a userspace pointer to store vma names. In that design, name pointers could be shared between vmas. However during the last upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from vm_area_struct. One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup anonymous vma names. Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest possible names [4]. I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a process. This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the name pointer between vmas of the same name. Instead of duplicating the string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value. Currently, arg2 must be one of: PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed 80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name can contain only printable ascii characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

include/linux/mm.h: move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h. The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete includes. For example, net/ipv4/tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h any more since it has already included mm.h. Similarly, after checking all the other files, it comes that tcp.c, udp.c meter.c ,... follow the same rule, so these files can have swap.h removed too. Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use nr_free_buffer_pages, it turns out that those files have already included mm.h.Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h safely. This change will not affect the compilation of other files.

memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node() We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users. Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory regions to place kexec images. It's important to add the memory directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

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

mm/util: Add folio_mapping() and folio_file_mapping() 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.

Revert "mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call try_get_compound_head() directly" This reverts commit 9857a17f206ff374aea78bccfb687f145368be2e. 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().

kernel/fork: always deny write access to current MM exe_file We want to remove VM_DENYWRITE only currently only used when mapping the executable during exec. During exec, we already deny_write_access() the executable, however, after exec completes the VMAs mapped with VM_DENYWRITE effectively keeps write access denied via deny_write_access(). Let's deny write access when setting or replacing the MM exe_file. With this change, we can remove VM_DENYWRITE for mapping executables. Make set_mm_exe_file() return an error in case deny_write_access() fails; note that this should never happen, because exec code does a deny_write_access() early and keeps write access denied when calling set_mm_exe_file. However, it makes the code easier to read and makes set_mm_exe_file() and replace_mm_exe_file() look more similar. This represents a minor user space visible change: sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) can now fail if the file is already opened writable. Also, after sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) the file cannot be opened writable. Note that we can already fail with -EACCES if the file doesn't have execute permissions. Acked-by: "Eric W.

mm: hwpoison: don't drop slab caches for offlining non-LRU page In the current implementation of soft offline, if non-LRU page is met, all the slab caches will be dropped to free the page then offline. But if the page is not slab page all the effort is wasted in vain. Even though it is a slab page, it is not guaranteed the page could be freed at all. However the side effect and cost is quite high. It does not only drop the slab caches, but also may drop a significant amount of page caches which are associated with inode caches. It could make the most workingset gone in order to just offline a page. And the offline is not guaranteed to succeed at all, actually I really doubt the success rate for real life workload. Furthermore the worse consequence is the system may be locked up and unusable since the page cache release may incur huge amount of works queued for memcg release. Actually we ran into such unpleasant case in our production environment. Firstly, the workqueue of memory_failure_work_func is locked up as below: BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 53s!

mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call try_get_compound_head() directly try_get_page() is very similar to try_get_compound_head(), and in fact try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance: try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more thoroughly. There are only two try_get_page() callsites, so just call try_get_compound_head() directly from those, and remove try_get_page() entirely. Also, seeing as how this changes try_get_compound_head() into a non-static function, provide some kerneldoc documentation for it.

So there is a lot of code duplication there. Change try_grab_page() to call try_grab_compound_head(), while keeping the API contract identical for callers.

This is a regression caused by converting this code from an open coded no fail/no warn reallocation loop to using __GFP_NOFAIL. What we actually need here is kvrealloc(), so that if contiguous page allocation fails we fall back to vmalloc() and we don't get nasty warnings happening in XFS.

mm: memory: add orig_pmd to struct vm_fault Pach series "mm: thp: use generic THP migration for NUMA hinting fault", v3. When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported yet. So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling. Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using the generic migration code. It is definitely a maintenance burden to keep two THP migration implementation for different code paths and it is more error prone. Using the generic THP migration implementation allows us remove the duplicate code and some hacks needed by the old ad hoc implementation. A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 ans S390 support both THP and NUMA balancing. The most of them support THP migration except for S390. Zi Yan tried to add THP migration support for S390 before but it was not accepted due to the design of S390 PMD. For the discussion, please see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/27/953. Per the discussion with Gerald Schaefer in v1 it is acceptible to skip huge PMD for S390 for now. I saw there were some hacks about gup from git history, but I didn't figure out if they have been removed or not since I just found FOLL_NUMA code in the current gup implementation and they seems useful. Patch #1 ~ #2 are preparation patches. Patch #3 is the real meat. Patch #4 ~ #6 keep consistent counters and behaviors with before. Patch #7 skips change huge PMD to prot_none if thp migration is not supported. Test ---- Did some tests to measure the latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page. The test VM has 80 vcpus and 64G memory. The test would create 2 processes to consume 128G memory together which would incur memory pressure to cause THP splits. And it also creates 80 processes to hog cpu, and the memory consumer processes are bound to different nodes periodically in order to increase NUMA faults. The below test script is used: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # Run stress-ng for 24 hours ./stress-ng/stress-ng --vm 2 --vm-bytes 64G --timeout 24h & PID=$! ./stress-ng/stress-ng --cpu $NR_CPUS --timeout 24h & # Wait for vm stressors forked sleep 5 PID_1=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 1'` PID_2=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 2'` JOB1=`pgrep -P $PID_1` JOB2=`pgrep -P $PID_2` # Bind load jobs to different nodes periodically to force generate # cross node memory access while [ -d "/proc/$PID" ] do taskset -apc 8 $JOB1 taskset -apc 8 $JOB2 sleep 300 taskset -apc 58 $JOB1 taskset -apc 58 $JOB2 sleep 300 done With the above test the histogram of latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page is as shown below. Since the number of do_huge_pmd_numa_page varies drastically for each run (should be due to scheduler), so I converted the raw number to percentage. patched base @us[stress-ng]: [0] 3.57% 0.16% [1] 55.68% 18.36% [2, 4) 10.46% 40.44% [4, 8) 7.26% 17.82% [8, 16) 21.12% 13.41% [16, 32) 1.06% 4.27% [32, 64) 0.56% 4.07% [64, 128) 0.16% 0.35% [128, 256) < 0.1% < 0.1% [256, 512) < 0.1% < 0.1% [512, 1K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [1K, 2K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [2K, 4K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [4K, 8K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [8K, 16K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [16K, 32K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [32K, 64K) < 0.1% < 0.1% Per the result, patched kernel is even slightly better than the base kernel. I think this is because the lock contention against THP split is less than base kernel due to the refactor. To exclude the affect from THP split, I also did test w/o memory pressure. No obvious regression is spotted. The below is the test result *w/o* memory pressure. patched base @us[stress-ng]: [0] 7.97% 18.4% [1] 69.63% 58.24% [2, 4) 4.18% 2.63% [4, 8) 0.22% 0.17% [8, 16) 1.03% 0.92% [16, 32) 0.14% < 0.1% [32, 64) < 0.1% < 0.1% [64, 128) < 0.1% < 0.1% [128, 256) < 0.1% < 0.1% [256, 512) 0.45% 1.19% [512, 1K) 15.45% 17.27% [1K, 2K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [2K, 4K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [4K, 8K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [8K, 16K) 0.86% 0.88% [16K, 32K) < 0.1% 0.15% [32K, 64K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [64K, 128K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [128K, 256K) < 0.1% < 0.1% The series also survived a series of tests that exercise NUMA balancing migrations by Mel. This patch (of 7): Add orig_pmd to struct vm_fault so the "orig_pmd" parameter used by huge page fault could be removed, just like its PTE counterpart does.

mm: sparsemem: split the huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages Patch series "Split huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages", v4. In order to reduce the difficulty of code review in series[1]. We disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages when that feature is enabled. In this series, we do not disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages anymore. We will split huge PMD mapping when needed. When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool we do not attempt coalasce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20210510030027.56044-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com/ This patch (of 3): In [1], PMD mappings of vmemmap pages were disabled if the the feature hugetlb_free_vmemmap was enabled. This was done to simplify the initial implementation of vmmemap freeing for hugetlb pages. Now, remove this simplification by allowing PMD mapping and switching to PTE mappings as needed for allocated hugetlb pages. When a hugetlb page is allocated, the vmemmap page tables are walked to free vmemmap pages. During this walk, split huge PMD mappings to PTE mappings as required. In the unlikely case PTE pages can not be allocated, return error(ENOMEM) and do not optimize vmemmap of the hugetlb page. When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool, we do not attempt to coalesce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex.

mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior in some corner cases as listed below: 1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages). User needs to try again later. 2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application. Try again later when freeing a huge page next time. 3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via offline_pages(). This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations. 4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly affects CMA and virtio-mem. Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully. CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA region. Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer) __GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under heavy hugetlb freeing.

mm: hugetlb: free the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. We __know__ that we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to store metadata associated with each HugeTLB. There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same. So we can reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual addresses of the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct, and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need to reserve two pages as vmemmap areas. When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page. It is more appropriate to do it in the prep_new_huge_page(). The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which means the feature is disabled. We will enable it once all the infrastructure is there.

CFI: Move function_nocfi() into compiler.h Currently the common definition of function_nocfi() is provided by <linux/mm.h>, and architectures are expected to provide a definition in <asm/memory.h>. Due to header dependencies, this can make it hard to use function_nocfi() in low-level headers. As function_nocfi() has no dependency on any mm code, nor on any memory definitions, it doesn't need to live in <linux/mm.h> or <asm/memory.h>. Generally, it would make more sense for it to live in <linux/compiler.h>, where an architecture can override it in <asm/compiler.h>. Move the definitions accordingly.

mm: gup: pack has_pinned in MMF_HAS_PINNED has_pinned 32bit can be packed in the MMF_HAS_PINNED bit as a noop cleanup. Any atomic_inc/dec to the mm cacheline shared by all threads in pin-fast would reintroduce a loss of SMP scalability to pin-fast, so there's no future potential usefulness to keep an atomic in the mm for this. set_bit(MMF_HAS_PINNED) will be theoretically a bit slower than WRITE_ONCE (atomic_set is equivalent to WRITE_ONCE), but the set_bit (just like atomic_set after this commit) has to be still issued only once per "mm", so the difference between the two will be lost in the noise. will-it-scale "mmap2" shows no change in performance with enterprise config as expected. will-it-scale "pin_fast" retains the > 4000% SMP scalability performance improvement against upstream as expected.

mm/page_alloc: fix memory map initialization for descending nodes On systems with memory nodes sorted in descending order, for instance Dell Precision WorkStation T5500, the struct pages for higher PFNs and respectively lower nodes, could be overwritten by the initialization of struct pages corresponding to the holes in the memory sections. For example for the below memory layout [ 0.245624] Early memory node ranges [ 0.248496] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff] [ 0.251376] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff] [ 0.254256] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff] [ 0.257144] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff] the range 0x1424000000 - 0x1428000000 in the beginning of node 0 starts in the middle of a section and will be considered as a hole during the initialization of the last section in node 1. The wrong initialization of the memory map causes panic on boot when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. Reorder loop order of the memory map initialization so that the outer loop will always iterate over populated memory regions in the ascending order and the inner loop will select the zone corresponding to the PFN range. This way initialization of the struct pages for the memory holes will be always done for the ranges that are actually not populated.

mm/thp: unmap_mapping_page() to fix THP truncate_cleanup_page() There is a race between THP unmapping and truncation, when truncate sees pmd_none() and skips the entry, after munmap's zap_huge_pmd() cleared it, but before its page_remove_rmap() gets to decrement compound_mapcount: generating false "BUG: Bad page cache" reports that the page is still mapped when deleted. This commit fixes that, but not in the way I hoped. The first attempt used try_to_unmap(page, TTU_SYNC|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK) instead of unmap_mapping_range() in truncate_cleanup_page(): it has often been an annoyance that we usually call unmap_mapping_range() with no pages locked, but there apply it to a single locked page. try_to_unmap() looks more suitable for a single locked page. However, try_to_unmap_one() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!pvmw.pte,page): it is used to insert THP migration entries, but not used to unmap THPs. Copy zap_huge_pmd() and add THP handling now? Perhaps, but their TLB needs are different, I'm too ignorant of the DAX cases, and couldn't decide how far to go for anon+swap. Set that aside. The second attempt took a different tack: make no change in truncate.c, but modify zap_huge_pmd() to insert an invalidated huge pmd instead of clearing it initially, then pmd_clear() between page_remove_rmap() and unlocking at the end. Nice. But powerpc blows that approach out of the water, with its serialize_against_pte_lookup(), and interesting pgtable usage. It would need serious help to get working on powerpc (with a minor optimization issue on s390 too). Set that aside. Just add an "if (page_mapped(page)) synchronize_rcu();" or other such delay, after unmapping in truncate_cleanup_page()? Perhaps, but though that's likely to reduce or eliminate the number of incidents, it would give less assurance of whether we had identified the problem correctly. This successful iteration introduces "unmap_mapping_page(page)" instead of try_to_unmap(), and goes the usual unmap_mapping_range_tree() route, with an addition to details. Then zap_pmd_range() watches for this case, and does spin_unlock(pmd_lock) if so - just like page_vma_mapped_walk() now does in the PVMW_SYNC case. Not pretty, but safe. Note that unmap_mapping_page() is doing a VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked) to assert its interface; but currently that's only used to make sure that page->mapping is stable, and zap_pmd_range() doesn't care if the page is locked or not. Along these lines, in invalidate_inode_pages2_range() move the initial unmap_mapping_range() out from under page lock, before then calling unmap_mapping_page() under page lock if still mapped.

mm/hugetlb: fix F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Fix issues on file sealing and fork", v2. Hugh reported issue with F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE not applied correctly to hugetlbfs, which I can easily verify using the memfd_test program, which seems that the program is hardly run with hugetlbfs pages (as by default shmem). Meanwhile I found another probably even more severe issue on that hugetlb fork won't wr-protect child cow pages, so child can potentially write to parent private pages. Patch 2 addresses that. After this series applied, "memfd_test hugetlbfs" should start to pass. This patch (of 2): F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE is missing for hugetlb starting from the first day. There is a test program for that and it fails constantly. $ ./memfd_test hugetlbfs memfd-hugetlb: CREATE memfd-hugetlb: BASIC memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-WRITE memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-FUTURE-WRITE mmap() didn't fail as expected Aborted (core dumped) I think it's probably because no one is really running the hugetlbfs test. Fix it by checking FUTURE_WRITE also in hugetlbfs_file_mmap() as what we do in shmem_mmap(). Generalize a helper for that.

mm/gup: do not migrate zero page On some platforms ZERO_PAGE(0) might end-up in a movable zone. Do not migrate zero page in gup during longterm pinning as migration of zero page is not allowed. For example, in x86 QEMU with 16G of memory and kernelcore=5G parameter, I see the following: Boot#1: zero_pfn 0x48a8d zero_pfn zone: ZONE_DMA32 Boot#2: zero_pfn 0x20168d zero_pfn zone: ZONE_MOVABLE On x86, empty_zero_page is declared in .bss and depending on the loader may end up in different physical locations during boots. Also, move is_zero_pfn() my_zero_pfn() functions under CONFIG_MMU, because zero_pfn that they are using is declared in memory.c which is compiled with CONFIG_MMU.

userfaultfd: add minor fault registration mode Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling", v9. Overview ======== This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS. When enabled (via the UFFDIO_API ioctl), this feature means that any hugetlbfs VMAs registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING will *also* get events for "minor" faults. By "minor" fault, I mean the following situation: Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s) (shared memory). One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing page. We also add a new ioctl to resolve such faults: UFFDIO_CONTINUE. The idea is, userspace resolves the fault by either a) doing nothing if the contents are already correct, or b) updating the underlying contents using the second, non-UFFD mapping (via memcpy/memset or similar, or something fancier like RDMA, or etc...). In either case, userspace issues UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are correct, carry on setting up the mapping". Use Case ======== Consider the use case of VM live migration (e.g. under QEMU/KVM): 1. While a VM is still running, we copy the contents of its memory to a target machine. The pages are populated on the target by writing to the non-UFFD mapping, using the setup described above. The VM is still running (and therefore its memory is likely changing), so this may be repeated several times, until we decide the target is "up to date enough". 2. We pause the VM on the source, and start executing on the target machine. During this gap, the VM's user(s) will *see* a pause, so it is desirable to minimize this window. 3. Between the last time any page was copied from the source to the target, and when the VM was paused, the contents of that page may have changed - and therefore the copy we have on the target machine is out of date. Although we can keep track of which pages are out of date, for VMs with large amounts of memory, it is "slow" to transfer this information to the target machine. We want to resume execution before such a transfer would complete. 4. So, the guest begins executing on the target machine. The first time it touches its memory (via the UFFD-registered mapping), userspace wants to intercept this fault. Userspace checks whether or not the page is up to date, and if not, copies the updated page from the source machine, via the non-UFFD mapping. Finally, whether a copy was performed or not, userspace issues a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are correct, carry on setting up the mapping". We don't have to do all of the final updates on-demand. The userfaultfd manager can, in the background, also copy over updated pages once it receives the map of which pages are up-to-date or not. Interaction with Existing APIs ============================== Because this is a feature, a registered VMA could potentially receive both missing and minor faults. I spent some time thinking through how the existing API interacts with the new feature: UFFDIO_CONTINUE cannot be used to resolve non-minor faults, as it does not allocate a new page. If UFFDIO_CONTINUE is used on a non-minor fault: - For non-shared memory or shmem, -EINVAL is returned. - For hugetlb, -EFAULT is returned. UFFDIO_COPY and UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE cannot be used to resolve minor faults. Without modifications, the existing codepath assumes a new page needs to be allocated. This is okay, since userspace must have a second non-UFFD-registered mapping anyway, thus there isn't much reason to want to use these in any case (just memcpy or memset or similar). - If UFFDIO_COPY is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned. - If UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned (or -EINVAL in the case of hugetlb, as UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is unsupported in any case). - UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT simply doesn't work with shared memory, and returns -ENOENT in that case (regardless of the kind of fault). Future Work =========== This series only supports hugetlbfs. I have a second series in flight to support shmem as well, extending the functionality. This series is more mature than the shmem support at this point, and the functionality works fully on hugetlbfs, so this series can be merged first and then shmem support will follow. This patch (of 6): This feature allows userspace to intercept "minor" faults. By "minor" faults, I mean the following situation: Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s). One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing page. This commit adds the new registration mode, and sets the relevant flag on the VMAs being registered. In the hugetlb fault path, if we find that we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() does indeed find an existing page, then we have a "minor" fault, and if the VMA has the userfaultfd registration flag, we call into userfaultfd to handle it. This is implemented as a new registration mode, instead of an API feature. This is because the alternative implementation has significant drawbacks [1]. However, doing it this was requires we allocate a VM_* flag for the new registration mode. On 32-bit systems, there are no unused bits, so this feature is only supported on architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS. When attempting to register a VMA in MINOR mode on 32-bit architectures, we return -EINVAL.

As discussed in [1] this commit was a no-op because the mapping type was checked in vma_to_resize before move_vma is ever called. This meant that vm_ops->mremap() would never be called on such mappings. Furthermore, we've since expanded support of MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to non-anonymous mappings, and these special mappings are still protected by the existing check of !VM_DONTEXPAND and !VM_PFNMAP which will result in a -EINVAL. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/12/28/2340 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210323182520.2712101-2-bgeffon@google.com Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Safonov <0x7f454c46@gmail.com> Cc: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A .

mm: add remap_pfn_range_notrack Patch series "add remap_pfn_range_notrack instead of reinventing it in i915", v2. i915 has some reason to want to avoid the track_pfn_remap overhead in remap_pfn_range. Add a function to the core VM to do just that rather than reinventing the functionality poorly in the driver. Note that the remap_io_sg path does get exercises when using Xorg on my Thinkpad X1, so this should be considered lightly tested, I've not managed to hit the remap_io_mapping path at all. This patch (of 4): Add a version of remap_pfn_range that does not call track_pfn_range. This will be used to fix horrible abuses of VM internals in the i915 driver.

For users (like RDMA mr_dereg) where each sg represents a contiguous set of pages, we're able to more efficiently unpin pages without having to supply an array of pages much of what happens today with unpin_user_pages().

mm: add generic function_nocfi macro With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces function addresses in instrumented C code with jump table addresses. This means that __pa_symbol(function) returns the physical address of the jump table entry instead of the actual function, which may not work as the jump table code will immediately jump to a virtual address that may not be mapped. To avoid this address space confusion, this change adds a generic definition for function_nocfi(), which architectures that support CFI can override. The typical implementation of would use inline assembly to take the function address, which avoids compiler instrumentation.

kasan: fix per-page tags for non-page_alloc pages To allow performing tag checks on page_alloc addresses obtained via page_address(), tag-based KASAN modes store tags for page_alloc allocations in page->flags. Currently, the default tag value stored in page->flags is 0x00. Therefore, page_address() returns a 0x00ffff... address for pages that were not allocated via page_alloc. This might cause problems. A particular case we encountered is a conflict with KFENCE. If a KFENCE-allocated slab object is being freed via kfree(page_address(page) + offset), the address passed to kfree() will get tagged with 0x00 (as slab pages keep the default per-page tags). This leads to is_kfence_address() check failing, and a KFENCE object ending up in normal slab freelist, which causes memory corruptions. This patch changes the way KASAN stores tag in page-flags: they are now stored xor'ed with 0xff. This way, KASAN doesn't need to initialize per-page flags for every created page, which might be slow. With this change, page_address() returns natively-tagged (with 0xff) pointers for pages that didn't have tags set explicitly. This patch fixes the encountered conflict with KFENCE and prevents more similar issues that can occur in the future.

mm: introduce page_needs_cow_for_dma() for deciding whether cow We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked against whether we should break the cow right now during fork(). It's easier to provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on hugetlbfs. Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too. Actually it suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is exported to the whole kernel. With that we should expect another patch to use is_cow_mapping() whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it quite a lot but it's always done with raw code against VM_* flags.

mm/hugetlb: grab head page refcount once for group of subpages Patch series "mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements", v2. While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page() which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages(). The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies up storing the subpages/vmas. Both together bring the cost of slow variant of gup() cost from ~87.6k usecs to ~5.8k usecs. libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks with hugetlbfs vmas. This patch (of 2): follow_hugetlb_page() once it locks the pmd/pud, checks all its N subpages in a huge page and grabs a reference for each one. Similar to gup-fast, have follow_hugetlb_page() grab the head page refcount only after counting all its subpages that are part of the just faulted huge page. Consequently we reduce the number of atomics necessary to pin said huge page, which improves non-fast gup() considerably: - 16G with 1G huge page size gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: ~87.6k us -> ~12.8k us Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210128182632.24562-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210128182632.24562-2-joao.m.martins@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: Close race in generic_access_phys Way back it was a reasonable assumptions that iomem mappings never change the pfn range they point at. But this has changed: - gpu drivers dynamically manage their memory nowadays, invalidating ptes with unmap_mapping_range when buffers get moved - contiguous dma allocations have moved from dedicated carvetouts to cma regions. This means if we miss the unmap the pfn might contain pagecache or anon memory (well anything allocated with GFP_MOVEABLE) - even /dev/mem now invalidates mappings when the kernel requests that iomem region when CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is set, see 3234ac664a87 ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the region") Accessing pfns obtained from ptes without holding all the locks is therefore no longer a good idea. Fix this. Since ioremap might need to manipulate pagetables too we need to drop the pt lock and have a retry loop if we raced. While at it, also add kerneldoc and improve the comment for the vma_ops->access function. It's for accessing, not for moving the memory from iomem to system memory, as the old comment seemed to suggest.

mm/frame-vector: Use FOLL_LONGTERM This is used by media/videbuf2 for persistent dma mappings, not just for a single dma operation and then freed again, so needs FOLL_LONGTERM. Unfortunately current pup_locked doesn't support FOLL_LONGTERM due to locking issues. Rework the code to pull the pup path out from the mmap_sem critical section as suggested by Jason. By relying entirely on the vma checks in pin_user_pages and follow_pfn (for vm_flags and vma_is_fsdax) we can also streamline the code a lot. Note that pin_user_pages_fast is a safe replacement despite the seeming lack of checking for vma->vm_flasg & (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP). Such ptes are marked with pte_mkspecial (which pup_fast rejects in the fastpath), and only architectures supporting that support the pin_user_pages_fast fastpath.

mm: Add mem_dump_obj() to print source of memory block There are kernel facilities such as per-CPU reference counts that give error messages in generic handlers or callbacks, whose messages are unenlightening. In the case of per-CPU reference-count underflow, this is not a problem when creating a new use of this facility because in that case the bug is almost certainly in the code implementing that new use. However, trouble arises when deploying across many systems, which might exercise corner cases that were not seen during development and testing. Here, it would be really nice to get some kind of hint as to which of several uses the underflow was caused by. This commit therefore exposes a mem_dump_obj() function that takes a pointer to memory (which must still be allocated if it has been dynamically allocated) and prints available information on where that memory came from. This pointer can reference the middle of the block as well as the beginning of the block, as needed by things like RCU callback functions and timer handlers that might not know where the beginning of the memory block is. These functions and handlers can use mem_dump_obj() to print out better hints as to where the problem might lie. The information printed can depend on kernel configuration. For example, the allocation return address can be printed only for slab and slub, and even then only when the necessary debug has been enabled. For slab, build with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, and either use sizes with ample space to the next power of two or use the SLAB_STORE_USER when creating the kmem_cache structure. For slub, build with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and boot with slub_debug=U, or pass SLAB_STORE_USER to kmem_cache_create() if more focused use is desired. Also for slub, use CONFIG_STACKTRACE to enable printing of the allocation-time stack trace.

Try to clean this up by moving the immutable fault information into an anonymous struct, which will later be marked as 'const'.

mm: Allow architectures to request 'old' entries when prefaulting Commit 5c0a85fad949 ("mm: make faultaround produce old ptes") changed the "faultaround" behaviour to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old', since this avoids vmscan wrongly assuming that they are hot, despite having never been explicitly accessed by userspace. The change has been shown to benefit numerous arm64 micro-architectures (with hardware access flag) running Android, where both application launch latency and direct reclaim time are significantly reduced (by 10%+ and ~80% respectively). Unfortunately, commit 315d09bf30c2 ("Revert "mm: make faultaround produce old ptes"") reverted the change due to it being identified as the cause of a ~6% regression in unixbench on x86. Experiments on a variety of recent arm64 micro-architectures indicate that unixbench is not affected by the original commit, which appears to yield a 0-1% performance improvement. Since one size does not fit all for the initial state of prefaulted PTEs, introduce arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte(), which allows an architecture to opt-in to 'old' prefaulted PTEs at runtime based on whatever criteria it may have.

mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths alloc_set_pte() has two users with different requirements: in the faultaround code, it called from an atomic context and PTE page table has to be preallocated. finish_fault() can sleep and allocate page table as needed. PTL locking rules are also strange, hard to follow and overkill for finish_fault(). Let's untangle the mess. alloc_set_pte() has gone now. All locking is explicit. The price is some code duplication to handle huge pages in faultaround path, but it should be fine, having overall improvement in readability.

mm: memmap defer init doesn't work as expected VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it. Before the commit: [0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap [0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63 [0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448 With commit [0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap [0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63 [2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448 The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected. Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone, to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of the last zone in that numa node. However, since commit 73a6e474cb376, function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each region. E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two memory regions in node 2. The current code will mistakenly initialize the whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]. In fact, we only expect to see that there's only one memory section's memmap initialized. That's why more time is costed at the time. [ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff] [ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff] [ 0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff] [ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff] [ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff] [ 0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff] Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

kernel/power: allow hibernation with page_poison sanity checking Page poisoning used to be incompatible with hibernation, as the state of poisoned pages was lost after resume, thus enabling CONFIG_HIBERNATION forces CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY. For the same reason, the poisoning with zeroes variant CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO used to disable hibernation. The latter restriction was removed by commit 1ad1410f632d ("PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO") and similarly for init_on_free by commit 18451f9f9e58 ("PM: hibernate: fix crashes with init_on_free=1") by making sure free pages are cleared after resume. We can use the same mechanism to instead poison free pages with PAGE_POISON after resume. This covers both zero and 0xAA patterns. Thus we can remove the Kconfig restriction that disables page poison sanity checking when hibernation is enabled.

mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled. Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined. The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers. Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter. Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single static key instead of having two static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().

mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and init_on_alloc/free parameters Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3. I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends: - interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on the order of parameters (Patch 1) - the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2) - sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 4) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 5) This patch (of 5): Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1 produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However, as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent. We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early params have been processed. Introduce a new init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related debug_pagealloc processing there as well. As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results in a simpler and more effective code.

arch, mm: restore dependency of __kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC The design of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC presumes that __kernel_map_pages() must never fail. With this assumption is wouldn't be safe to allow general usage of this function. Moreover, some architectures that implement __kernel_map_pages() have this function guarded by #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and some refuse to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is disabled at runtime. As all the users of __kernel_map_pages() were converted to use debug_pagealloc_map_pages() it is safe to make it available only when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set.

PM: hibernate: make direct map manipulations more explicit When DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is enabled a page may be not present in the direct map and has to be explicitly mapped before it could be copied. Introduce hibernate_map_page() and hibernation_unmap_page() that will explicitly use set_direct_map_{default,invalid}_noflush() for ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP case and debug_pagealloc_{map,unmap}_pages() for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC case. The remapping of the pages in safe_copy_page() presumes that it only changes protection bits in an existing PTE and so it is safe to ignore return value of set_direct_map_{default,invalid}_noflush(). Still, add a pr_warn() so that future changes in set_memory APIs will not silently break hibernation.

mm: introduce debug_pagealloc_{map,unmap}_pages() helpers Patch series "arch, mm: improve robustness of direct map manipulation", v7. During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a concern about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC scope [1]. Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail, but since this function is void, the failure will go unnoticed. Moreover, there's lack of consistency of __kernel_map_pages() semantics across architectures as some guard this function with #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, some refuse to update the direct map if page allocation debugging is disabled at run time and some allow modifying the direct map regardless of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settings. This set straightens this out by restoring dependency of __kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and updating the call sites accordingly. Since currently the only user of __kernel_map_pages() outside DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is hibernation, it is updated to make direct map accesses there more explicit. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2759b4bf-e1e3-d006-7d86-78a40348269d@redhat.com This patch (of 4): When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, it unmaps pages from the kernel direct mapping after free_pages(). The pages than need to be mapped back before they could be used. Theese mapping operations use __kernel_map_pages() guarded with with debug_pagealloc_enabled(). The only place that calls __kernel_map_pages() without checking whether DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled is the hibernation code that presumes availability of this function when ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is set. Still, on arm64, __kernel_map_pages() will bail out when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not enabled but set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() may render some pages not present in the direct map and hibernation code won't be able to save such pages. To make page allocation debugging and hibernation interaction more robust, the dependency on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP has to be made more explicit. Start with combining the guard condition and the call to __kernel_map_pages() into debug_pagealloc_map_pages() and debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() functions to emphasize that __kernel_map_pages() should not be called without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and use these new functions to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is enabled.

ia64: remove custom __early_pfn_to_nid() The ia64 implementation of __early_pfn_to_nid() essentially relies on the same data as the generic implementation. The correspondence between memory ranges and nodes is set in memblock during early memory initialization in register_active_ranges() function. The initialization of sparsemem that requires early_pfn_to_nid() happens later and it can use the memblock information like the other architectures.

mm: memcontrol: Use helpers to read page's memcg data Patch series "mm: allow mapping accounted kernel pages to userspace", v6. Currently a non-slab kernel page which has been charged to a memory cgroup can't be mapped to userspace. The underlying reason is simple: PageKmemcg flag is defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, etc), so it takes a bit from a page->mapped counter. Pages with a type set can't be mapped to userspace. But in general the kmemcg flag has nothing to do with mapping to userspace. It only means that the page has been accounted by the page allocator, so it has to be properly uncharged on release. Some bpf maps are mapping the vmalloc-based memory to userspace, and their memory can't be accounted because of this implementation detail. This patchset removes this limitation by moving the PageKmemcg flag into one of the free bits of the page->mem_cgroup pointer. Also it formalizes accesses to the page->mem_cgroup and page->obj_cgroups using new helpers, adds several checks and removes a couple of obsolete functions. As the result the code became more robust with fewer open-coded bit tricks. This patch (of 4): Currently there are many open-coded reads of the page->mem_cgroup pointer, as well as a couple of read helpers, which are barely used. It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer for storing additional bits of information. In fact, we already do this for slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has an attached vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg pointer. This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces a new helper to converts all read sides to calls of these helpers: struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page); struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page); struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page); page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page can be a slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector. It does check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL. page_memcg() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not being a slab page. To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.

mm: Add 'mprotect' hook to struct vm_operations_struct Background ========== 1. SGX enclave pages are populated with data by copying from normal memory via ioctl() (SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_ADD_PAGES), which will be added later in this series. 2. It is desirable to be able to restrict those normal memory data sources. For instance, to ensure that the source data is executable before copying data to an executable enclave page. 3. Enclave page permissions are dynamic (just like normal permissions) and can be adjusted at runtime with mprotect(). This creates a problem because the original data source may have long since vanished at the time when enclave page permissions are established (mmap() or mprotect()). The solution (elsewhere in this series) is to force enclave creators to declare their paging permission *intent* up front to the ioctl(). This intent can be immediately compared to the source data’s mapping and rejected if necessary. The “intent” is also stashed off for later comparison with enclave PTEs. This ensures that any future mmap()/mprotect() operations performed by the enclave creator or done on behalf of the enclave can be compared with the earlier declared permissions. Problem ======= There is an existing mmap() hook which allows SGX to perform this permission comparison at mmap() time. However, there is no corresponding ->mprotect() hook. Solution ======== Add a vm_ops->mprotect() hook so that mprotect() operations which are inconsistent with any page's stashed intent can be rejected by the driver.

mm: always have io_remap_pfn_range() set pgprot_decrypted() The purpose of io_remap_pfn_range() is to map IO memory, such as a memory mapped IO exposed through a PCI BAR. IO devices do not understand encryption, so this memory must always be decrypted. Automatically call pgprot_decrypted() as part of the generic implementation. This fixes a bug where enabling AMD SME causes subsystems, such as RDMA, using io_remap_pfn_range() to expose BAR pages to user space to fail. The CPU will encrypt access to those BAR pages instead of passing unencrypted IO directly to the device. Places not mapping IO should use remap_pfn_range().

mm/madvise: pass mm to do_madvise Patch series "introduce memory hinting API for external process", v9. Now, we have MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_COLD as madvise hinting API. With that, application could give hints to kernel what memory range are preferred to be reclaimed. However, in some platform(e.g., Android), the information required to make the hinting decision is not known to the app. Instead, it is known to a centralized userspace daemon(e.g., ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim on its own without any app involvement. To solve the concern, this patch introduces new syscall - process_madvise(2). Bascially, it's same with madvise(2) syscall but it has some differences. 1. It needs pidfd of target process to provide the hint 2. It supports only MADV_{COLD|PAGEOUT|MERGEABLE|UNMEREABLE} at this moment. Other hints in madvise will be opened when there are explicit requests from community to prevent unexpected bugs we couldn't support. 3. Only privileged processes can do something for other process's address space. For more detail of the new API, please see "mm: introduce external memory hinting API" description in this patchset. This patch (of 3): In upcoming patches, do_madvise will be called from external process context so we shouldn't asssume "current" is always hinted process's task_struct. Furthermore, we must not access mm_struct via task->mm, but obtain it via access_mm() once (in the following patch) and only use that pointer [1], so pass it to do_madvise() as well. Note the vma->vm_mm pointers are safe, so we can use them further down the call stack. And let's pass current->mm as arguments of do_madvise so it shouldn't change existing behavior but prepare next patch to make review easy.

mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3. Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff] In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs: $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 power -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the node1 and node2's directory. This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is raised: kernel BUG at /Users/laurent/src/linux-ppc/mm/memory_hotplug.c:1084!

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs. There are two issues here: (a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these multiple links (b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system panic. To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this series. Issue (b) will be addressed separately. This patch (of 2): The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time. Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as meminit_context.

mm: allow a controlled amount of unfairness in the page lock Commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic") made the page locking entirely fair, in that if a waiter came in while the lock was held, the lock would be transferred to the lockers strictly in order. That was intended to finally get rid of the long-reported watchdog failures that involved the page lock under extreme load, where a process could end up waiting essentially forever, as other page lockers stole the lock from under it. It also improved some benchmarks, but it ended up causing huge performance regressions on others, simply because fair lock behavior doesn't end up giving out the lock as aggressively, causing better worst-case latency, but potentially much worse average latencies and throughput. Instead of reverting that change entirely, this introduces a controlled amount of unfairness, with a sysctl knob to tune it if somebody needs to. But the default value should hopefully be good for any normal load, allowing a few rounds of lock stealing, but enforcing the strict ordering before the lock has been stolen too many times. There is also a hint from Matthieu Baerts that the fair page coloring may end up exposing an ABBA deadlock that is hidden by the usual optimistic lock stealing, and while the unfairness doesn't fix the fundamental issue (and I'm still looking at that), it avoids it in practice. The amount of unfairness can be modified by writing a new value to the 'sysctl_page_lock_unfairness' variable (default value of 5, exposed through /proc/sys/vm/page_lock_unfairness), but that is hopefully something we'd use mainly for debugging rather than being necessary for any deep system tuning. This whole issue has exposed just how critical the page lock can be, and how contended it gets under certain locks. And the main contention doesn't really seem to be anything related to IO (which was the origin of this lock), but for things like just verifying that the page file mapping is stable while faulting in the page into a page table.

arm64: mte: Add PROT_MTE support to mmap() and mprotect() To enable tagging on a memory range, the user must explicitly opt in via a new PROT_MTE flag passed to mmap() or mprotect(). Since this is a new memory type in the AttrIndx field of a pte, simplify the or'ing of these bits over the protection_map[] attributes by making MT_NORMAL index 0. There are two conditions for arch_vm_get_page_prot() to return the MT_NORMAL_TAGGED memory type: (1) the user requested it via PROT_MTE, registered as VM_MTE in the vm_flags, and (2) the vma supports MTE, decided during the mmap() call (only) and registered as VM_MTE_ALLOWED. arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() is responsible for registering the user request as VM_MTE. The newly introduced arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() sets VM_MTE_ALLOWED if the mapping is MAP_ANONYMOUS. An MTE-capable filesystem (RAM-based) may be able to set VM_MTE_ALLOWED during its mmap() file ops call. In addition, update VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS to allow mprotect(PROT_MTE) on stack or brk area. The Linux mmap() syscall currently ignores unknown PROT_* flags. In the presence of MTE, an mmap(PROT_MTE) on a file which does not support MTE will not report an error and the memory will not be mapped as Normal Tagged. For consistency, mprotect(PROT_MTE) will not report an error either if the memory range does not support MTE. Two subsequent patches in the series will propose tightening of this behaviour.

The first one should be a performance improvement for all users of compound pages, and the others are aimed at getting code to compile away when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled (ie small systems). Also better documented / less confusing than the current prefix mixture of compound, hpage and thp. This patch (of 7): This removes a few instructions from functions which need to know how many pages are in a compound page. The storage used is either page->mapping on 64-bit or page->index on 32-bit. Both of these are fine to overlay on tail pages.

mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5. This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/ What this series did: - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else) only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the perf events. - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf event is used in an adhoc way across different archs. Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults. Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page fault is resolved successfully. Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled this perf event. Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally. - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1. - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for gup. More information on this in patch 25. Patchset layout: Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled. Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one. Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.) Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more This patch (of 25): This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault(). PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault handlers. So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present() After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory: sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present(). Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called one after the other. Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present() and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.

mm: remove unnecessary wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff() The current split between do_mmap() and do_mmap_pgoff() was introduced in commit 1fcfd8db7f82 ("mm, mpx: add "vm_flags_t vm_flags" arg to do_mmap_pgoff()") to support MPX. The wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff() always passed 0 as the value of the vm_flags argument to do_mmap(). However, MPX support has subsequently been removed from the kernel and there were no more direct callers of do_mmap(); all calls were going via do_mmap_pgoff(). Simplify the code by removing do_mmap_pgoff() and changing all callers to directly call do_mmap(), which now no longer takes a vm_flags argument.

mm/sparsemem: enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available or not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to allocate vmemmap mappings. Lets also enable it to handle altmap based device memory allocation along with existing regular memory allocations. This will help in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many places. To summarize there are two different methods to call vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(). vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, NULL) /* Allocate from system RAM */ vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, altmap) /* Allocate from altmap */ This converts altmap_alloc_block_buf() into a static function, drops it's entry from the header and updates Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst.

mm/sparsemem: enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages() Patch series "arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory", v4. This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages() and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based alocation requests. This patch (of 3): vmemmap_populate_basepages() is used across platforms to allocate backing memory for vmemmap mapping. This is used as a standard default choice or as a fallback when intended huge pages allocation fails. This just creates entire vmemmap mapping with base pages (PAGE_SIZE). On arm64 platforms, vmemmap_populate_basepages() is called instead of the platform specific vmemmap_populate() when ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS is not enabled as in case for ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs. At present vmemmap_populate_basepages() does not support allocating from driver defined struct vmem_altmap while trying to create vmemmap mapping for a device memory range. It prevents ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs on arm64 from supporting device memory with vmemap_altmap request. This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages() unlocking device memory allocation for vmemap mapping on arm64 platforms with 16K or 64K base page configs. Each architecture should evaluate and decide on subscribing device memory based base page allocation through vmemmap_populate_basepages(). Hence lets keep it disabled on all archs in order to preserve the existing semantics. A subsequent patch enables it on arm64.

mm: adjust vm_committed_as_batch according to vm overcommit policy When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability mmap test [1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of percpu counter 'vm_committed_as': 94.14% 0.35% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap; 45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap; Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary. The 'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number for the percpu counter. So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and lift it to 64X for OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies. Also add a sysctl handler to adjust it when the policy is reconfigured. Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. We tested with test platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop), and 80%+ platforms shows improvements with that test. And whether it shows improvements depends on if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed. And if the lift is 16X, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements, though it should help the mmap/unmap usage generally, as Michal Hocko mentioned: : I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit from : a larger batch. E.g. large in memory databases which do large mmaps : during startups from multiple threads.

mm, dump_page: do not crash with bad compound_mapcount() If a compound page is being split while dump_page() is being run on that page, we can end up calling compound_mapcount() on a page that is no longer compound. This leads to a crash (already seen at least once in the field), due to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assertion inside compound_mapcount(). (The above is from Matthew Wilcox's analysis of Qian Cai's bug report.) A similar problem is possible, via compound_pincount() instead of compound_mapcount(). In order to avoid this kind of crash, make dump_page() slightly more robust, by providing a pair of simpler routines that don't contain assertions: head_mapcount() and head_pincount(). For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but this is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's a good trade-off.

PROT_SAO was used by specialised system software (Lx86) that has been discontinued for about 7 years, and is not thought to be used elsewhere, so removal should not cause problems. We rather remove it than keep support for older processors, because live migrating guest partitions to newer processors may not be possible if SAO is in use (or worse allowed with silent races). - PROT_SAO stays in the uapi header so code using it would still build. - arch_validate_prot() is removed, the generic version rejects PROT_SAO so applications would get a failure at mmap() time.

mmap locking API: initial implementation as rwsem wrappers This patch series adds a new mmap locking API replacing the existing mmap_sem lock and unlocks. Initially the API is just implemente in terms of inlined rwsem calls, so it doesn't provide any new functionality. There are two justifications for the new API: - At first, it provides an easy hooking point to instrument mmap_sem locking latencies independently of any other rwsems. - In the future, it may be a starting point for replacing the rwsem implementation with a different one, such as range locks. This is something that is being explored, even though there is no wide concensus about this possible direction yet.

mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages_locked() Patch series "mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), use it in frame_vector.c", v2. This adds yet one more pin_user_pages*() variant, and uses that to convert mm/frame_vector.c. With this, along with maybe 20 or 30 other recent patches in various trees, we are close to having the relevant gup call sites converted--with the notable exception of the bio/block layer. This patch (of 2): Introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), which is nearly identical to get_user_pages_locked() except that it sets FOLL_PIN and rejects FOLL_GET. As with other pairs of get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages() API calls, it's prudent to assert that FOLL_PIN is *not* set in the get_user_pages*() call, so add that as part of this.

As part of this we will get rid of write parameter. Instead caller will pass FOLL_WRITE to get_user_pages_fast_only(). This will not change any existing functionality of the API. All the callers are changed to pass FOLL_WRITE. Also introduce get_user_page_fast_only(), and use it in a few places that hard-code nr_pages to 1. Updated the documentation of the API.

mm: replace zero-length array with flexible-array member The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html [2] https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/21 [3] commit 76497732932f ("cxgb3/l2t: Fix undefined behaviour") [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by: chenqiwu <chenqiwu@xiaomi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Pankaj Gupta <pankaj.gupta.linux@gmail.com> Cc: Yang Shi <yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1586599916-15456-1-git-send-email-qiwuchen55@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: add kvfree_sensitive() for freeing sensitive data objects For kvmalloc'ed data object that contains sensitive information like cryptographic keys, we need to make sure that the buffer is always cleared before freeing it. Using memset() alone for buffer clearing may not provide certainty as the compiler may compile it away. To be sure, the special memzero_explicit() has to be used. This patch introduces a new kvfree_sensitive() for freeing those sensitive data objects allocated by kvmalloc(). The relevant places where kvfree_sensitive() can be used are modified to use it.

mm: free_area_init: use maximal zone PFNs rather than zone sizes Currently, architectures that use free_area_init() to initialize memory map and node and zone structures need to calculate zone and hole sizes. We can use free_area_init_nodes() instead and let it detect the zone boundaries while the architectures will only have to supply the possible limits for the zones.

mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node mapping in memblock and those that don't. Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and therefore the compile time configuration option is not required. The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes. Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the entire compatibility layer can be dropped. To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

mm/gup: refactor and de-duplicate gup_fast() code There were two nearly identical sets of code for gup_fast() style of walking the page tables with interrupts disabled. This has lead to the usual maintenance problems that arise from having duplicated code. There is already a core internal routine in gup.c for gup_fast(), so just enhance it very slightly: allow skipping the fall-back to "slow" (regular) get_user_pages(), via the new FOLL_FAST_ONLY flag. Then, just call internal_get_user_pages_fast() from __get_user_pages_fast(), and adjust the API to match pre-existing API behavior. There is a change in behavior from this refactoring: the nested form of interrupt disabling is used in all gup_fast() variants now. That's because there is only one place that interrupt disabling for page walking is done, and so the safer form is required. This should, if anything, eliminate possible (rare) bugs, because the non-nested form of enabling interrupts was fragile at best.

mm: add functions to track page directory modifications Patch series "mm: Get rid of vmalloc_sync_(un)mappings()", v3. After the recent issue with vmalloc and tracing code[1] on x86 and a long history of previous issues related to the vmalloc_sync_mappings() interface, I thought the time has come to remove it. Please see [2], [3], and [4] for some other issues in the past. The patches add tracking of page-table directory changes to the vmalloc and ioremap code. Depending on which page-table levels changes have been made, a new per-arch function is called: arch_sync_kernel_mappings(). On x86-64 with 4-level paging, this function will not be called more than 64 times in a systems runtime (because vmalloc-space takes 64 PGD entries which are only populated, but never cleared). As a side effect this also allows to get rid of vmalloc faults on x86, making it safe to touch vmalloc'ed memory in the page-fault handler. Note that this potentially includes per-cpu memory. This patch (of 7): Add page-table allocation functions which will keep track of changed directory entries. They are needed for new PGD, P4D, PUD, and PMD entries and will be used in vmalloc and ioremap code to decide whether any changes in the kernel mappings need to be synchronized between page-tables in the system.

mm: move readahead prototypes from mm.h Patch series "Change readahead API", v11. This series adds a readahead address_space operation to replace the readpages operation. The key difference is that pages are added to the page cache as they are allocated (and then looked up by the filesystem) instead of passing them on a list to the readpages operation and having the filesystem add them to the page cache. It's a net reduction in code for each implementation, more efficient than walking a list, and solves the direct-write vs buffered-read problem reported by yu kuai at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116063601.39201-1-yukuai3@huawei.com The only unconverted filesystems are those which use fscache. Their conversion is pending Dave Howells' rewrite which will make the conversion substantially easier. This should be completed by the end of the year. I want to thank the reviewers/testers; Dave Chinner, John Hubbard, Eric Biggers, Johannes Thumshirn, Dave Sterba, Zi Yan, Christoph Hellwig and Miklos Szeredi have done a marvellous job of providing constructive criticism. These patches pass an xfstests run on ext4, xfs & btrfs with no regressions that I can tell (some of the tests seem a little flaky before and remain flaky afterwards). This patch (of 25): The readahead code is part of the page cache so should be found in the pagemap.h file. force_page_cache_readahead is only used within mm, so move it to mm/internal.h instead. Remove the parameter names where they add no value, and rename the ones which were actively misleading.

Technically reverts commit 1d148e218a0d ("mm: add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() to page_mapcount()"), but context lines have changed. Function isolate_migratepages_block() runs some checks out of lru_lock when choose pages for migration. After checking PageLRU() it checks extra page references by comparing page_count() and page_mapcount(). Between these two checks page could be removed from lru, freed and taken by slab. As a result this race triggers VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) in page_mapcount(). Race window is tiny.

For synchronous memory errors the arch code needs to know any signals that memory_failure() will trigger are pending before it returns to user-space, possibly when exiting from the IRQ. Add a helper to kick the memory failure queue, to ensure the scheduled work has happened. This has to be called from process context, so may have been migrated from the original cpu. Pass the cpu the work was queued on. Change memory_failure_work_func() to permit being called on the 'wrong' cpu.

mm/special: create generic fallbacks for pte_special() and pte_mkspecial() Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they get build in generic MM without a config check. This creates two generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much code duplication. mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial() visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires. This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build failure. arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a C file just to prevent a build failure.

mm/vma: introduce VM_ACCESS_FLAGS There are many places where all basic VMA access flags (read, write, exec) are initialized or checked against as a group. One such example is during page fault. Existing vma_is_accessible() wrapper already creates the notion of VMA accessibility as a group access permissions. Hence lets just create VM_ACCESS_FLAGS (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC) which will not only reduce code duplication but also extend the VMA accessibility concept in general.

userfaultfd: wp: apply _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags are exclusively used. Then, - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW when a range of memory is write protected by uffd - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover _PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT. Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs. Then we can start to identify which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp. Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well. Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd(). After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp. Here the userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first. Only after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle the general COW. These are the steps on what will happen with such a page: 1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority than general COW. 2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD. However here we still keep the write bit cleared. Notify the blocked CPU. 3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page, apply write bit where necessary, and retry again. 4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

mm: merge parameters for change_protection() change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code, there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and prot_numa). Further, these parameters are passed along the calls: - change_protection_range() - change_p4d_range() - change_pud_range() - change_pmd_range() - ... Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to replace these parameters. Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters multiple times along the way. More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce any new parameters to change_protection(). In the follow up patches, a new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced. No functional change at all.

mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1]. Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We achieved this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen, and after all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned. This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means that the page fault handler now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the need to generate another page fault event. Meanwhile we still keep the FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a page fault is the first attempt or not. Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag): - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to retry, and this is the first try - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to retry, and this is not the first try - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow to retry at all - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to detect the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in all existing special paths. One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained. This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault. It might also benefit other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault write-protection. GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

mm: introduce FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE handle_userfaultfd() is currently the only one place in the kernel page fault procedures that can respond to non-fatal userspace signals. It was trying to detect such an allowance by checking against USER & KILLABLE flags, which was "un-official". In this patch, we introduced a new flag (FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE) to show that the fault handler allows the fault procedure to respond even to non-fatal signals. Meanwhile, add this new flag to the default fault flags so that all the page fault handlers can benefit from the new flag. With that, replacing the userfault check to this one. Since the line is getting even longer, clean up the fault flags a bit too to ease TTY users. Although we've got a new flag and applied it, we shouldn't have any functional change with this patch so far.

mm: introduce FAULT_FLAG_DEFAULT Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags. Say, merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried, and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL. Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial page fault flags that were copied over. With this, it'll be far easier to introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead of touching all the archs.

mm/vma: move VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED into generic header Patch series "mm/vma: some more minor changes", v2. The motivation here is to consolidate VMA flags and helpers in generic memory header and reduce code duplication when ever applicable. If there are other possible similar instances which might be missing here, please do let me me know. I will be happy to incorporate them. This patch (of 3): Move VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED into generic header (include/linux/mm.h). This just makes sure that no VMA flag is scattered in individual function files any longer. While at this, fix an old comment which is no longer valid. This should not cause any functional change.

mm/gup: page->hpage_pinned_refcount: exact pin counts for huge pages For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number of huge pages that can be pinned. This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1 compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there. A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing a padding field in the union (so no new space is used). This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives" problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount. Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN. This tracking is implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount. This provides a fuzzy indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK). Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for details. As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN (typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such pages via unpin_user_page(). Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the "TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section. (That limitation will be removed in a following patch.) The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use". Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new function call: bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page); What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4]. This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

mm: Introduce vma_is_special_huge For VM_PFNMAP and VM_MIXEDMAP vmas that want to support transhuge pages and -page table entries, introduce vma_is_special_huge() that takes the same codepaths as vma_is_dax(). The use of "special" follows the definition in memory.c, vm_normal_page(): "Special" mappings do not wish to be associated with a "struct page" (either it doesn't exist, or it exists but they don't want to touch it) For PAGE_SIZE pages, "special" is determined per page table entry to be able to deal with COW pages. But since we don't have huge COW pages, we can classify a vma as either "special huge" or "normal huge".

arm64: Basic Branch Target Identification support This patch adds the bare minimum required to expose the ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification feature to userspace. By itself, this does _not_ automatically enable BTI for any initial executable pages mapped by execve(). This will come later, but for now it should be possible to enable BTI manually on those pages by using mprotect() from within the target process. Other arches already using the generic mman.h are already using 0x10 for arch-specific prot flags, so we use that for PROT_BTI here. For consistency, signal handler entry points in BTI guarded pages are required to be annotated as such, just like any other function. This blocks a relatively minor attack vector, but comforming userspace will have the annotations anyway, so we may as well enforce them.

mm, hotplug: fix page online with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC compiled but not enabled Commit cd02cf1aceea ("mm/hotplug: fix an imbalance with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC") fixed memory hotplug with debug_pagealloc enabled, where onlining a page goes through page freeing, which removes the direct mapping. Some arches don't like when the page is not mapped in the first place, so generic_online_page() maps it first. This is somewhat wasteful, but better than special casing page freeing fast paths. The commit however missed that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured doesn't mean it's actually enabled. One has to test debug_pagealloc_enabled() since 031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable"), or alternatively debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() since 8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early"), but this is not done. As a result, a s390 kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured but not enabled will crash: Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space Failing address: 0000000000000000 TEID: 0000000000000483 Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.

mm/page_alloc.c: initialize memmap of unavailable memory directly Let's make sure that all memory holes are actually marked PageReserved(), that page_to_pfn() produces reliable results, and that these pages are not detected as "mmap" pages due to the mapcount. E.g., booting a x86-64 QEMU guest with 4160 MB: [ 0.010585] Early memory node ranges [ 0.010586] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff] [ 0.010588] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdefff] [ 0.010589] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000143ffffff] max_pfn is 0x144000. Before this change: [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000, flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000000000800 16384 64 ___________M_______________________________ mmap total 16384 64 After this change: [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000, flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000100000000 16384 64 ___________________________r_______________ reserved total 16384 64 IOW, especially the unavailable physical memory ("memory hole") in the last section would not get properly marked PageReserved() and is indicated to be "mmap" memory. Drop the trace of that function from include/linux/mm.h - nobody else needs it, and rename it accordingly. Note: The fake zone/node might not be covered by the zone/node span. This is not an urgent issue (for now, we had the same node/zone due to the zeroing). We'll need a clean way to mark memory holes (e.g., using a page type PageHole() if possible or a fake ZONE_INVALID) and eventually stop marking these memory holes PageReserved().

mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages*() and FOLL_PIN Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and also pin_longterm_pages*() variations. For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API. These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also introduced, and thoroughly documented. pin_user_pages() pin_user_pages_remote() pin_user_pages_fast() All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via put_user_page(). The underlying rules are: * FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly set it. That behavior is enforced with assertions. * Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers will: * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That makes it easy to find and audit the call sites. * Set FOLL_PIN * For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned via put_user_page(). Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in this documentation. (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)

mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pages An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and especially the "put page" aspects of it. In order to keep everything clean, refactor the devmap page release routines: * Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(), and limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool, with no side effects. * Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle decrementing the refcount for ZONE_DEVICE pages. * Change callers (just release_pages() and put_page()) to check page_is_devmap_managed() before calling the new put_devmap_managed_page() routine. This is a performance point: put_page() is a hot path, so we need to avoid non- inline function calls where possible. * Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(), and limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap page.

mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param() as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed, it is safe to enable the static key. However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param() earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA. To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion from 96a2b03f281d. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key, which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of architecture.

mm, x86/mm: Untangle address space layout definitions from basic pgtable type definitions - Untangle the somewhat incestous way of how VMALLOC_START is used all across the kernel, but is, on x86, defined deep inside one of the lowest level page table headers. It doesn't help that vmalloc.h only includes a single asm header: #include <asm/page.h> /* pgprot_t */ So there was no existing cross-arch way to decouple address layout definitions from page.h details. I used this: #ifndef VMALLOC_START # include <asm/vmalloc.h> #endif This way every architecture that wants to simplify page.h can do so. - Also on x86 we had a couple of LDT related inline functions that used the late-stage address space layout positions - but these could be uninlined without real trouble - the end result is cleaner this way as well.

rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm When a process updates the RSS of a different process, the rss_stat tracepoint appears in the context of the process doing the update. This can confuse userspace that the RSS of process doing the update is updated, while in reality a different process's RSS was updated. This issue happens in reclaim paths such as with direct reclaim or background reclaim. This patch adds more information to the tracepoint about whether the mm being updated belongs to the current process's context (curr field). We also include a hash of the mm pointer so that the process who the mm belongs to can be uniquely identified (mm_id field). Also vsprintf.c is refactored a bit to allow reuse of hashing code.

mm: emit tracepoint when RSS changes Useful to track how RSS is changing per TGID to detect spikes in RSS and memory hogs. Several Android teams have been using this patch in various kernel trees for half a year now. Many reported to me it is really useful so I'm posting it upstream. Initial patch developed by Tim Murray. Changes I made from original patch: o Prevent any additional space consumed by mm_struct. Regarding the fact that the RSS may change too often thus flooding the traces - note that, there is some "hysterisis" with this already. That is - We update the counter only if we receive 64 page faults due to SPLIT_RSS_ACCOUNTING. However, during zapping or copying of pte range, the RSS is updated immediately which can become noisy/flooding. In a previous discussion, we agreed that BPF or ftrace can be used to rate limit the signal if this becomes an issue. Also note that I added wrappers to trace_rss_stat to prevent compiler errors where linux/mm.h is included from tracing code, causing errors such as: CC kernel/trace/power-traces.o In file included from ./include/trace/define_trace.h:102, from ./include/trace/events/kmem.h:342, from ./include/linux/mm.h:31, from ./include/linux/ring_buffer.h:5, from ./include/linux/trace_events.h:6, from ./include/trace/events/power.h:12, from kernel/trace/power-traces.c:15: ./include/trace/trace_events.h:113:22: error: field `ent' has incomplete type struct trace_entry ent; \ Link: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20190903200905.198642-1-joel@joelfernandes.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191001172817.234886-1-joel@joelfernandes.org Co-developed-by: Tim Murray <timmurray@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Murray <timmurray@google.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Carmen Jackson <carmenjackson@google.com> Cc: Mayank Gupta <mayankgupta@google.com> Cc: Daniel Colascione <dancol@google.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap We have a usecase to use tmpfs as QEMU memory backend and we would like to take the advantage of THP as well. But, our test shows the EPT is not PMD mapped even though the underlying THP are PMD mapped on host. The number showed by /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage is much less than the number of PMD mapped shmem pages as the below: 7f2778200000-7f2878200000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 262232 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.Hz2hSf (deleted) Size: 4194304 kB [snip] AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 579584 kB [snip] Locked: 0 kB cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages 12 And some benchmarks do worse than with anonymous THPs. By digging into the code we figured out that commit 127393fbe597 ("mm: thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled") checks if there is a single PTE mapping on the page for anonymous THP when setting up EPT map. But the _mapcount < 0 check doesn't work for page cache THP since every subpage of page cache THP would get _mapcount inc'ed once it is PMD mapped, so PageTransCompoundMap() always returns false for page cache THP. This would prevent KVM from setting up PMD mapped EPT entry. So we need handle page cache THP correctly. However, when page cache THP's PMD gets split, kernel just remove the map instead of setting up PTE map like what anonymous THP does. Before KVM calls get_user_pages() the subpages may get PTE mapped even though it is still a THP since the page cache THP may be mapped by other processes at the mean time. Checking its _mapcount and whether the THP has PTE mapped or not. Although this may report some false negative cases (PTE mapped by other processes), it looks not trivial to make this accurate. With this fix /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage would show reasonable pages are PMD mapped by EPT as the below: 7fbeaee00000-7fbfaee00000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 275464 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.SKUvat (deleted) Size: 4194304 kB [snip] AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 557056 kB [snip] Locked: 0 kB cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages 271 And the benchmarks are as same as anonymous THPs.

mm: Add write-protect and clean utilities for address space ranges Add two utilities to 1) write-protect and 2) clean all ptes pointing into a range of an address space. The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory). The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults, typically on large accesses into small memory regions.

mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for other levels of page table. To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}(). These changes were generated with the following shell script: ---- git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE; sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE; done ---- ... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

mm, fs: move randomize_stack_top from fs to mm Patch series "Provide generic top-down mmap layout functions", v6. This series introduces generic functions to make top-down mmap layout easily accessible to architectures, in particular riscv which was the initial goal of this series. The generic implementation was taken from arm64 and used successively by arm, mips and finally riscv. Note that in addition the series fixes 2 issues: - stack randomization was taken into account even if not necessary. - [1] fixed an issue with mmap base which did not take into account randomization but did not report it to arm and mips, so by moving arm64 into a generic library, this problem is now fixed for both architectures. This work is an effort to factorize architecture functions to avoid code duplication and oversights as in [1]. [1]: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1429066.html This patch (of 14): This preparatory commit moves this function so that further introduction of generic topdown mmap layout is contained only in mm/util.c.

mm, thp: introduce FOLL_SPLIT_PMD Introduce a new foll_flag: FOLL_SPLIT_PMD. As the name says FOLL_SPLIT_PMD splits huge pmd for given mm_struct, the underlining huge page stays as-is. FOLL_SPLIT_PMD is useful for cases where we need to use regular pages, but would switch back to huge page and huge pmd on. One of such example is uprobe. The following patches use FOLL_SPLIT_PMD in uprobe.

mm: move memcmp_pages() and pages_identical() Patch series "THP aware uprobe", v13. This patchset makes uprobe aware of THPs. Currently, when uprobe is attached to text on THP, the page is split by FOLL_SPLIT. As a result, uprobe eliminates the performance benefit of THP. This set makes uprobe THP-aware. Instead of FOLL_SPLIT, we introduces FOLL_SPLIT_PMD, which only split PMD for uprobe. After all uprobes within the THP are removed, the PTE-mapped pages are regrouped as huge PMD. This set (plus a few THP patches) is also available at https://github.com/liu-song-6/linux/tree/uprobe-thp This patch (of 6): Move memcmp_pages() to mm/util.c and pages_identical() to mm.h, so that we can use them in other files.

mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock() [11~From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Subject: mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock() Patch series "mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock()", v3. There are about 50+ patches in my tree [2], and I'll be sending out the remaining ones in a few more groups: * The block/bio related changes (Jerome mostly wrote those, but I've had to move stuff around extensively, and add a little code) * mm/ changes * other subsystem patches * an RFC that shows the current state of the tracking patch set. That can only be applied after all call sites are converted, but it's good to get an early look at it. This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in fc1d8e7cca2d ("mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions"). This patch (of 3): Provide more capable variation of put_user_pages_dirty_lock(), and delete put_user_pages_dirty(). This is based on the following: 1. Lots of call sites become simpler if a bool is passed into put_user_page*(), instead of making the call site choose which put_user_page*() variant to call. 2. Christoph Hellwig's observation that set_page_dirty_lock() is usually correct, and set_page_dirty() is usually a bug, or at least questionable, within a put_user_page*() calling chain. This leads to the following API choices: * put_user_pages_dirty_lock(page, npages, make_dirty) * There is no put_user_pages_dirty(). You have to hand code that, in the rare case that it's required.

Since anonymous THP doesn't have to check pgoff, so make pgoff check shmem vma only.

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE is somewhat meaningless in itself, and combined with the long-out-of-date comment can lead to the impression than an architecture may just enable it (since __add_pages() now "comprehends device memory" for itself) and expect things to work. In practice, however, ZONE_DEVICE users have little chance of functioning correctly without __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_DEVMAP, so let's clean that up the same way as ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and make it the proper dependency so the real situation is clearer.

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

mm, debug_pagealloc: use a page type instead of page_ext flag When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other features requiring the page_ext array.

mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements". I have been recently debugging some pcplist corruptions, where it would be useful to perform struct page checks immediately as pages are allocated from and freed to pcplists, which is now only possible by rebuilding the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (details in Patch 2 changelog). To make this kind of debugging simpler in future on a distro kernel, I have improved CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC so that it has even smaller overhead when not enabled at boot time (Patch 1) and also when enabled (Patch 3), and extended it to perform the struct page checks more often when enabled (Patch 2). Now it can be configured in when building a distro kernel without extra overhead, and debugging page use after free or double free can be enabled simply by rebooting with debug_pagealloc=on. This patch (of 3): CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC has been redesigned by 031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") to allow being always enabled in a distro kernel, but only perform its expensive functionality when booted with debug_pagelloc=on. We can further reduce the overhead when not boot-enabled (including page allocator fast paths) using static keys. This patch introduces one for debug_pagealloc core functionality, and another for the optional guard page functionality (enabled by booting with debug_guardpage_minorder=X).

mm: Add write-protect and clean utilities for address space ranges Add two utilities to a) write-protect and b) clean all ptes pointing into a range of an address space. The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory). The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults, typically on large accesses into small memory regions. The added file "as_dirty_helpers.c" is initially listed as maintained by VMware under our DRM driver. If somebody would like it elsewhere, that's of course no problem. Notable changes since RFC: - Added comments to help avoid the usage of these function for VMAs it's not intended for. We also do advisory checks on the vm_flags and warn on illegal usage. - Perform the pte modifications the same way softdirty does. - Add mmu_notifier range invalidation calls. - Add a config option so that this code is not unconditionally included. - Tell the mmu_gather code about pending tlb flushes.

mm: Add an apply_to_pfn_range interface This is basically apply_to_page_range with added functionality: Allocating missing parts of the page table becomes optional, which means that the function can be guaranteed not to error if allocation is disabled. Also passing of the closure struct and callback function becomes different and more in line with how things are done elsewhere. Finally we keep apply_to_page_range as a wrapper around apply_to_pfn_range The reason for not using the page-walk code is that we want to perform the page-walk on vmas pointing to an address space without requiring the mmap_sem to be held rather than on vmas belonging to a process with the mmap_sem held.

mm: introduce new vm_map_pages() and vm_map_pages_zero() API Patch series "mm: Use vm_map_pages() and vm_map_pages_zero() API", v5. This patch (of 5): Previouly drivers have their own way of mapping range of kernel pages/memory into user vma and this was done by invoking vm_insert_page() within a loop. As this pattern is common across different drivers, it can be generalized by creating new functions and using them across the drivers. vm_map_pages() is the API which can be used to map kernel memory/pages in drivers which have considered vm_pgoff vm_map_pages_zero() is the API which can be used to map a range of kernel memory/pages in drivers which have not considered vm_pgoff. vm_pgoff is passed as default 0 for those drivers. We _could_ then at a later "fix" these drivers which are using vm_map_pages_zero() to behave according to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting simply by removing the _zero suffix on the function name and if that causes regressions, it gives us an easy way to revert. Tested on Rockchip hardware and display is working, including talking to Lima via prime.

mm: use mm_zero_struct_page from SPARC on all 64b architectures Patch series "Deferred page init improvements", v7. This patchset is essentially a refactor of the page initialization logic that is meant to provide for better code reuse while providing a significant improvement in deferred page initialization performance. In my testing on an x86_64 system with 384GB of RAM I have seen the following. In the case of regular memory initialization the deferred init time was decreased from 3.75s to 1.38s on average. This amounts to a 172% improvement for the deferred memory initialization performance. I have called out the improvement observed with each patch. This patch (of 4): Use the same approach that was already in use on Sparc on all the architectures that support a 64b long. This is mostly motivated by the fact that 7 to 10 store/move instructions are likely always going to be faster than having to call into a function that is not specialized for handling page init. An added advantage to doing it this way is that the compiler can get away with combining writes in the __init_single_page call. As a result the memset call will be reduced to only about 4 write operations, or at least that is what I am seeing with GCC 6.2 as the flags, LRU pointers, and count/mapcount seem to be cancelling out at least 4 of the 8 assignments on my system. One change I had to make to the function was to reduce the minimum page size to 56 to support some powerpc64 configurations. This change should introduce no change on SPARC since it already had this code. In the case of x86_64 I saw a reduction from 3.75s to 2.80s when initializing 384GB of RAM per node. Pavel Tatashin tested on a system with Broadcom's Stingray CPU and 48GB of RAM and found that __init_single_page() takes 19.30ns / 64-byte struct page before this patch and with this patch it takes 17.33ns / 64-byte struct page. Mike Rapoport ran a similar test on a OpenPower (S812LC 8348-21C) with Power8 processor and 128GB or RAM. His results per 64-byte struct page were 4.68ns before, and 4.59ns after this patch.

mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions A discussion of the overall problem is below. As mentioned in patch 0001, the steps are to fix the problem are: 1) Provide put_user_page*() routines, intended to be used for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*(). 2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of call sites, and will take some time. 3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from the existing struct page refcounting. 4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are backed by a filesystem. Overview ======== Some kernel components (file systems, device drivers) need to access memory that is specified via process virtual address. For a long time, the API to achieve that was get_user_pages ("GUP") and its variations. However, GUP has critical limitations that have been overlooked; in particular, GUP does not interact correctly with filesystems in all situations. That means that file-backed memory + GUP is a recipe for potential problems, some of which have already occurred in the field. GUP was first introduced for Direct IO (O_DIRECT), allowing filesystem code to get the struct page behind a virtual address and to let storage hardware perform a direct copy to or from that page. This is a short-lived access pattern, and as such, the window for a concurrent writeback of GUP'd page was small enough that there were not (we think) any reported problems. Also, userspace was expected to understand and accept that Direct IO was not synchronized with memory-mapped access to that data, nor with any process address space changes such as munmap(), mremap(), etc. Over the years, more GUP uses have appeared (virtualization, device drivers, RDMA) that can keep the pages they get via GUP for a long period of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, ...). This long-term pinning makes an underlying design problem more obvious. In fact, there are a number of key problems inherent to GUP: Interactions with file systems ============================== File systems expect to be able to write back data, both to reclaim pages, and for data integrity. Allowing other hardware (NICs, GPUs, etc) to gain write access to the file memory pages means that such hardware can dirty the pages, without the filesystem being aware. This can, in some cases (depending on filesystem, filesystem options, block device, block device options, and other variables), lead to data corruption, and also to kernel bugs of the form: kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899! backtrace: ext4_writepage __writepage write_cache_pages ext4_writepages do_writepages __writeback_single_inode writeback_sb_inodes __writeback_inodes_wb wb_writeback wb_workfn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork ...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer heads attached: ({ \ BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \ ((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \ }) Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear: "The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one. How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is clean and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it is marked writeable and dirtied. Every. Time." This is just one symptom of the larger design problem: real filesystems that actually write to a backing device, do not actually support get_user_pages() being called on their pages, and letting hardware write directly to those pages--even though that pattern has been going on since about 2005 or so. Long term GUP ============= Long term GUP is an issue when FOLL_WRITE is specified to GUP (so, a writeable mapping is created), and the pages are file-backed. That can lead to filesystem corruption. What happens is that when a file-backed page is being written back, it is first mapped read-only in all of the CPU page tables; the file system then assumes that nobody can write to the page, and that the page content is therefore stable. Unfortunately, the GUP callers generally do not monitor changes to the CPU pages tables; they instead assume that the following pattern is safe (it's not): get_user_pages() Hardware can keep a reference to those pages for a very long time, and write to it at any time. Because "hardware" here means "devices that are not a CPU", this activity occurs without any interaction with the kernel's file system code. for each page set_page_dirty put_page() In fact, the GUP documentation even recommends that pattern. Anyway, the file system assumes that the page is stable (nothing is writing to the page), and that is a problem: stable page content is necessary for many filesystem actions during writeback, such as checksum, encryption, RAID striping, etc. Furthermore, filesystem features like COW (copy on write) or snapshot also rely on being able to use a new page for as memory for that memory range inside the file. Corruption during write back is clearly possible here. To solve that, one idea is to identify pages that have active GUP, so that we can use a bounce page to write stable data to the filesystem. The filesystem would work on the bounce page, while any of the active GUP might write to the original page. This would avoid the stable page violation problem, but note that it is only part of the overall solution, because other problems remain. Other filesystem features that need to replace the page with a new one can be inhibited for pages that are GUP-pinned. This will, however, alter and limit some of those filesystem features. The only fix for that would be to require GUP users to monitor and respond to CPU page table updates. Subsystems such as ODP and HMM do this, for example. This aspect of the problem is still under discussion. Direct IO ========= Direct IO can cause corruption, if userspace does Direct-IO that writes to a range of virtual addresses that are mmap'd to a file. The pages written to are file-backed pages that can be under write back, while the Direct IO is taking place. Here, Direct IO races with a write back: it calls GUP before page_mkclean() has replaced the CPU pte with a read-only entry. The race window is pretty small, which is probably why years have gone by before we noticed this problem: Direct IO is generally very quick, and tends to finish up before the filesystem gets around to do anything with the page contents. However, it's still a real problem. The solution is to never let GUP return pages that are under write back, but instead, force GUP to take a write fault on those pages. That way, GUP will properly synchronize with the active write back. This does not change the required GUP behavior, it just avoids that race. Details ======= Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page(). This provides a way to update all get_user_pages*() callers, so that they call put_user_page(), instead of put_page(). Also introduces put_user_pages(), and a few dirty/locked variations, as a replacement for release_pages(), and also as a replacement for open-coded loops that release multiple pages. These may be used for subsequent performance improvements, via batching of pages to be released. This is the first step of fixing a problem (also described in [1] and [2]) with interactions between get_user_pages ("gup") and filesystems. Problem description: let's start with a bug report. Below, is what happens sometimes, under memory pressure, when a driver pins some pages via gup, and then marks those pages dirty, and releases them. Note that the gup documentation actually recommends that pattern. The problem is that the filesystem may do a writeback while the pages were gup-pinned, and then the filesystem believes that the pages are clean. So, when the driver later marks the pages as dirty, that conflicts with the filesystem's page tracking and results in a BUG(), like this one that I experienced: kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899! backtrace: ext4_writepage __writepage write_cache_pages ext4_writepages do_writepages __writeback_single_inode writeback_sb_inodes __writeback_inodes_wb wb_writeback wb_workfn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork ...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer heads attached: ({ \ BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \ ((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \ }) Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear: "The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one.

mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool' To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the singular write parameter to be gup_flags. This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will follow in subsequent patches. Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter. NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast() arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

mm/gup: replace get_user_pages_longterm() with FOLL_LONGTERM Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it". HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages. Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also shown interest in using this functionality.[1] In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939 "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move. I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to solve the "longterm" problem. Then I think we can change the flag to a better name. Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory. I have spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path... For the overall application performance. I don't have the numbers as the tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago. But there was a significant advantage. Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have to hold mmap_sem. Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use *_fast. There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well. Also to this point others are looking to use *_fast. As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and *_unlocked look very much the same. I agree and I think further cleanup will be coming. But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at the moment. This patch (of 7): This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in get_user_pages_fast(). Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance purposes. Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it. This patch does not change any functionality. In the short term "longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX in particular has been blocked. However, callers of get_user_pages_fast() were not "protected". FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use. NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of __get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages. This makes the code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the pages before and after a potential migration. As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the primary purpose of the series. In review[1] it was asked: <quote> > This I don't get - if you do lock down long term mappings performance > of the actual get_user_pages call shouldn't matter to start with. > > What do I miss? A couple of points. First "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move.

mm/hibernation: Make hibernation handle unmapped pages Make hibernate handle unmapped pages on the direct map when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_ALIAS=y is set. These functions allow for setting pages to invalid configurations, so now hibernate should check if the pages have valid mappings and handle if they are unmapped when doing a hibernate save operation. Previously this checking was already done when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y was configured. It does not appear to have a big hibernating performance impact. The speed of the saving operation before this change was measured as 819.02 MB/s, and after was measured at 813.32 MB/s.

mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only does so if the count was "safe". It returns whether the reference count was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously has to be aware of it). Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already had a reference to the page. The intent is that you can use this exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the maximum reference count. The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification that the conditional non-increment actually happened. NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).

mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count. That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON). Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative territory.

mm: create the new vm_fault_t type Page fault handlers are supposed to return VM_FAULT codes, but some drivers/file systems mistakenly return error numbers. Now that all drivers/file systems have been converted to use the vm_fault_t return type, change the type definition to no longer be compatible with 'int'. By making it an unsigned int, the function prototype becomes incompatible with a function which returns int. Sparse will detect any attempts to return a value which is not a VM_FAULT code. VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX and VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX values are changed to avoid conflict with other VM_FAULT codes.

mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA region This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated out of CMA region. This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages (due to page reference count) in the CMA area. This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in the CMA region. ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA region results in page table allocation failures. One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough device. VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough hash page table.

mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions Patch series "Add support for fast mremap". This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra 'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization. Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more testing. The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script. (thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!). Following fix ups were done manually: * Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc * Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze. // Options: --include-headers --no-includes // Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually // running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you. virtual patch @pte_alloc_func_def depends on patch exists@ identifier E2; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; type T2; @@ fn(... - , T2 E2 ) { ... } @pte_alloc_func_proto_noarg depends on patch exists@ type T1, T2, T3, T4; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; @@ ( - T3 fn(T1, T2); + T3 fn(T1); | - T3 fn(T1, T2, T4); + T3 fn(T1, T2); ) @pte_alloc_func_proto depends on patch exists@ identifier E1, E2, E4; type T1, T2, T3, T4; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; @@ ( - T3 fn(T1 E1, T2 E2); + T3 fn(T1 E1); | - T3 fn(T1 E1, T2 E2, T4 E4); + T3 fn(T1 E1, T2 E2); ) @pte_alloc_func_call depends on patch exists@ expression E2; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; @@ fn(... -, E2 ) @pte_alloc_macro depends on patch exists@ identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; identifier a, b, c; expression e; position p; @@ ( - #define fn(a, b, c) e + #define fn(a, b) e | - #define fn(a, b) e + #define fn(a) e ) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181108181201.88826-2-joelaf@google.com Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Suggested-by: Kirill A.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

kasan, mm, arm64: tag non slab memory allocated via pagealloc Tag-based KASAN doesn't check memory accesses through pointers tagged with 0xff. When page_address is used to get pointer to memory that corresponds to some page, the tag of the resulting pointer gets set to 0xff, even though the allocated memory might have been tagged differently. For slab pages it's impossible to recover the correct tag to return from page_address, since the page might contain multiple slab objects tagged with different values, and we can't know in advance which one of them is going to get accessed. For non slab pages however, we can recover the tag in page_address, since the whole page was marked with the same tag. This patch adds tagging to non slab memory allocated with pagealloc. To set the tag of the pointer returned from page_address, the tag gets stored to page->flags when the memory gets allocated.

mm: add mm_pxd_folded checks to pgtable_bytes accounting functions The common mm code calls mm_dec_nr_pmds() and mm_dec_nr_puds() in free_pgtables() if the address range spans a full pud or pmd. If mm_dec_nr_puds/mm_dec_nr_pmds are non-empty due to configuration settings they blindly subtract the size of the pmd or pud table from pgtable_bytes even if the pud or pmd page table layer is folded. Add explicit mm_[pmd|pud]_folded checks to the four pgtable_bytes accounting functions mm_inc_nr_puds, mm_inc_nr_pmds, mm_dec_nr_puds and mm_dec_nr_pmds. As the check for folded page tables can be overwritten by the architecture, this allows to keep a correct pgtable_bytes value for platforms that use a dynamic number of page table levels.

mm/gup: cache dev_pagemap while pinning pages Getting pages from ZONE_DEVICE memory needs to check the backing device's live-ness, which is tracked in the device's dev_pagemap metadata. This metadata is stored in a radix tree and looking it up adds measurable software overhead. This patch avoids repeating this relatively costly operation when dev_pagemap is used by caching the last dev_pagemap while getting user pages. The gup_benchmark kernel self test reports this reduces time to get user pages to as low as 1/3 of the previous time.

mm: mremap: downgrade mmap_sem to read when shrinking Other than munmap, mremap might be used to shrink memory mapping too. So, it may hold write mmap_sem for long time when shrinking large mapping, as what commit ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap") described. The mremap() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for the mapping shrink use case, so it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem. So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case. The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping would be reduced significantly with this optimization. MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_MAYMOVE are more complicated to adopt this optimization since they need manipulate vmas after do_munmap(), downgrading mmap_sem may create race window. Simple mapping shrink is the low hanging fruit, and it may cover the most cases of unmap with munmap together.

mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the point where we init pgmap The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock. The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory initialization time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to the one outside of the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times. One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it to a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party drivers.

PCI/P2PDMA: Support peer-to-peer memory Some PCI devices may have memory mapped in a BAR space that's intended for use in peer-to-peer transactions. To enable such transactions the memory must be registered with ZONE_DEVICE pages so it can be used by DMA interfaces in existing drivers. Add an interface for other subsystems to find and allocate chunks of P2P memory as necessary to facilitate transfers between two PCI peers: struct pci_dev *pci_p2pmem_find[_many](); int pci_p2pdma_distance[_many](); void *pci_alloc_p2pmem(); The new interface requires a driver to collect a list of client devices involved in the transaction then call pci_p2pmem_find() to obtain any suitable P2P memory. Alternatively, if the caller knows a device which provides P2P memory, they can use pci_p2pdma_distance() to determine if it is usable. With a suitable p2pmem device, memory can then be allocated with pci_alloc_p2pmem() for use in DMA transactions. Depending on hardware, using peer-to-peer memory may reduce the bandwidth of the transfer but can significantly reduce pressure on system memory. This may be desirable in many cases: for example a system could be designed with a small CPU connected to a PCIe switch by a small number of lanes which would maximize the number of lanes available to connect to NVMe devices. The code is designed to only utilize the p2pmem device if all the devices involved in a transfer are behind the same PCI bridge. This is because we have no way of knowing whether peer-to-peer routing between PCIe Root Ports is supported (PCIe r4.0, sec 1.3.1). Additionally, the benefits of P2P transfers that go through the RC is limited to only reducing DRAM usage and, in some cases, coding convenience. The PCI-SIG may be exploring adding a new capability bit to advertise whether this is possible for future hardware. This commit includes significant rework and feedback from Christoph Hellwig.

mm: migration: fix migration of huge PMD shared pages The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the source page. This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all vmas where the page is mapped. This search stops when page mapcount is zero. For shared PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1 no matter the number of mappings. Shared mappings are tracked via the reference count of the PMD page. Therefore, try_to_unmap stops prematurely and does not completely unmap all mappings of the source page. This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the target page. Hence, data is lost. This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global areas after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors. DB developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug) offlining memory used to back huge pages. A simple testcase can reproduce the problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that this must be at least PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on x86)), and using migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between nodes while continually writing to the huge pages being migrated. To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing by calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages. If it is a shared mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table entry and drops the reference on the PMD page. After this, flush caches and TLB. mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not be sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked. Therefore, check for the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that notifiers can prepare for the worst possible case.

As part of that clean up return type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to vm_fault_t type.

mm/page_alloc: Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such path. free_area_init_core() performs the following actions: 1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more. 2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on when creating hash tables. 3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and memmap pages. 4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data 5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists 6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs actions #1 and #4. Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results always in manages_pages being 0. Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone() online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone() This patch does two things: First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only perform: 1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more 4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals(). The second thing this patch does, is to introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of free_area_init_core(): Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages(). calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has. Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate this now. Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to: reset_node_managed_pages() reset_node_present_pages() The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range() online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range() Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace __paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

mm/sparse: abstract sparse buffer allocations Patch series "sparse_init rewrite", v6. In sparse_init() we allocate two large buffers to temporary hold usemap and memmap for the whole machine. However, we can avoid doing that if we changed sparse_init() to operated on per-node bases instead of doing it on the whole machine beforehand. As shown by Baoquan http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180628062857.29658-1-bhe@redhat.com The buffers are large enough to cause machine stop to boot on small memory systems. Another benefit of these changes is that they also obsolete CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER. This patch (of 5): When struct pages are allocated for sparse-vmemmap VA layout, we first try to allocate one large buffer, and than if that fails allocate struct pages for each section as we go. The code that allocates buffer is uses global variables and is spread across several call sites. Cleanup the code by introducing three functions to handle the global buffer: sparse_buffer_init() initialize the buffer sparse_buffer_fini() free the remaining part of the buffer sparse_buffer_alloc() alloc from the buffer, and if buffer is empty return NULL Define these functions in sparse.c instead of sparse-vmemmap.c because later we will use them for non-vmemmap sparse allocations as well.

mm, huge page: copy target sub-page last when copy huge page Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when copying huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 4M. But on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M LLC (last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread. If the cache contention is heavy when copying the huge page, and we copy the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing copying the end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access the begin of the huge page after copying the huge page. In c79b57e462b5d ("mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page"), to keep the cache lines of the target subpage hot, the order to clear the subpages in the huge page in clear_huge_page() is changed to clearing the subpage which is furthest from the target subpage firstly, and the target subpage last. The similar order changing helps huge page copying too. That is implemented in this patch. Because we have put the order algorithm into a separate function, the implementation is quite simple. The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on transparent huge page. With this patch, the throughput increases ~16.6% in vm-scalability anon-cow-seq test case with 36 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699 system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case set /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled to be always, mmap() a big anonymous memory area and populate it, then forked 36 child processes, each writes to the anonymous memory area from the begin to the end, so cause copy on write. For each child process, other child processes could be seen as other workloads which generate heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.63 to 0.78, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~7.2%.

mm: do not initialize TLB stack vma's with vma_init() Commit 2c4541e24c55 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and data segments") tried to initialize various left-over ad-hoc vma's "properly", but actually made things worse for the temporary vma's used for TLB flushing. vma_init() doesn't actually initialize all of the vma, just a few fields, so doing something like - struct vm_area_struct vma = { .vm_mm = tlb->mm, }; + struct vm_area_struct vma; + + vma_init(&vma, tlb->mm); was actually very bad: instead of having a nicely initialized vma with every field but "vm_mm" zeroed, you'd have an entirely uninitialized vma with only a couple of fields initialized. And they weren't even fields that the code in question mostly cared about. The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a "struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example. And all the normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation. But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma. x86 just has a special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes. At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and pointless. This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64 people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma.

With dax there is no possibility to map in another page dynamically since dax establishes 1:1 physical address to file offset associations. Also dev_pagemap pages associated with NVDIMM / persistent memory devices can internal remap/repair addresses with poison. While memory_failure() assumes that it can discard typical poisoned pages and keep them unmapped indefinitely, dev_pagemap pages may be returned to service after the error is cleared. Teach memory_failure() to detect and handle MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST dev_pagemap pages that have poison consumed by userspace. Mark the memory as UC instead of unmapping it completely to allow ongoing access via the device driver (nd_pmem). Later, nd_pmem will grow support for marking the page back to WB when the error is cleared.

mm: use helper functions for allocating and freeing vm_area structs The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere, ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields. We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least have basic allocation functions. Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion: # new vma: kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc() # copy old vma kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old) # free vma kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma) to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization alone).

mm: don't do zero_resv_unavail if memmap is not allocated Moving zero_resv_unavail before memmap_init_zone(), caused a regression on x86-32. The cause is that we access struct pages before they are allocated when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is used. free_area_init_nodes() zero_resv_unavail() mm_zero_struct_page(pfn_to_page(pfn)); <- struct page is not alloced free_area_init_node() if CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP alloc_node_mem_map() memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() <- struct page alloced here On the other hand memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() zeroes all the memory that it returns, so we do not need to do zero_resv_unavail() here.

mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it. The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free / idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary. Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths can enable. For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support, care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure. However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

include/linux/mm.h: add new inline function vmf_error() Many places in drivers/ file systems, error was handled in a common way like below: ret = (ret == -ENOMEM) ? VM_FAULT_OOM : VM_FAULT_SIGBUS; vmf_error() will replace this and return vm_fault_t type err. A lot of drivers and filesystems currently have a rather complex mapping of errno-to-VM_FAULT code. We have been able to eliminate a lot of it by just returning VM_FAULT codes directly from functions which are called exclusively from the fault handling path. Some functions can be called both from the fault handler and other context which are expecting an errno, so they have to continue to return an errno. Some users still need to choose different behaviour for different errnos, but vmf_error() captures the essential error translation that's common to all users, and those that need to handle additional errors can handle them first.

proc: do not access cmdline nor environ from file-backed areas proc_pid_cmdline_read() and environ_read() directly access the target process' VM to retrieve the command line and environment. If this process remaps these areas onto a file via mmap(), the requesting process may experience various issues such as extra delays if the underlying device is slow to respond. Let's simply refuse to access file-backed areas in these functions. For this we add a new FOLL_ANON gup flag that is passed to all calls to access_remote_vm(). The code already takes care of such failures (including unmapped areas). Accesses via /proc/pid/mem were not changed though. This was assigned CVE-2018-1120. Note for stable backports: the patch may apply to kernels prior to 4.11 but silently miss one location; it must be checked that no call to access_remote_vm() keeps zero as the last argument.

mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE", v2. 0. History This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed. 1. What does this patch do? This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone. To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view, characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem. 2. Motivation There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone. Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway, following is the problems of the current implementation. o CMA memory utilization First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0 If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim, there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas would not be used. FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml. And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this problem. Useless reclaim: There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence, CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be usable for the kernel allocation. Atomic allocation failure: This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation logic. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would fails due to following logic. - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0 It was reported by Aneesh [3]. Useless compaction: Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction, migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the unmovable allocation request so it's just waste. 3. Current approach and new approach Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However, as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised. New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone. There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case. Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all. 4. Result Following is the experimental result related to utilization problem. 8 CPUs, 1024 MB, VIRTUAL MACHINE make -j16 <Before> CMA area: 0 MB 512 MB Elapsed-time: 92.4 186.5 pswpin: 82 18647 pswpout: 160 69839 <After> CMA : 0 MB 512 MB Elapsed-time: 93.1 93.4 pswpin: 84 46 pswpout: 183 92 akpm: "kernel test robot" reported a 26% improvement in vm-scalability.throughput: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180330012721.GA3845@yexl-desktop [1]: lkml.kernel.org/r/1491880640-9944-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com [2]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/15/623 [3]: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg100562.html Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1512114786-5085-2-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Reviewed-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org> Cc: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: change return type to vm_fault_t The plan for these patches is to introduce the typedef, initially just as documentation ("These functions should return a VM_FAULT_ status"). We'll trickle the patches to individual drivers/filesystems in through the maintainers, as far as possible. Then we'll change the typedef to an unsigned int and break the compilation of any unconverted drivers/filesystems. vmf_insert_page(), vmf_insert_mixed() and vmf_insert_pfn() are three newly added functions. The various drivers/filesystems where return value of fault(), huge_fault(), page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() get converted, will need them. These functions will return correct VM_FAULT_ code based on err value. We've had bugs before where drivers returned -EFOO. And we have this silly inefficiency where vm_insert_xxx() return an errno which (afaict) every driver then converts into a VM_FAULT code. In many cases drivers failed to return correct VM_FAULT code value despite of vm_insert_xxx() fails. We have indentified and clean up all those existing bugs and silly inefficiencies in driver/filesystems by adding these three new inline wrappers. As mentioned above, we will trickle those patches to individual drivers/filesystems in through maintainers after these three wrapper functions are merged. Eventually we can convert vm_insert_xxx() into vmf_insert_xxx() and remove these inline wrappers, but these are a good intermediate step.

mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap device will be freed. So page_mapping() users which may touch the address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space from being freed during accessing. The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function. But in some cases there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff, for example, CPU1 CPU2 __get_user_pages() swapoff() flush_dcache_page() mapping = page_mapping() ... exit_swap_address_space() ... kvfree(spaces) mapping_mapped(mapping) The address space may be accessed after being freed. But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be used. The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures follows this too. They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the dcache immediately. And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap) to find all user space mappings. While mapping_mapped() and mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all. So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping() is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL otherwise. All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are replaced with page_mapping_file().

sparc64: Add support for ADI (Application Data Integrity) ADI is a new feature supported on SPARC M7 and newer processors to allow hardware to catch rogue accesses to memory. ADI is supported for data fetches only and not instruction fetches. An app can enable ADI on its data pages, set version tags on them and use versioned addresses to access the data pages. Upper bits of the address contain the version tag. On M7 processors, upper four bits (bits 63-60) contain the version tag. If a rogue app attempts to access ADI enabled data pages, its access is blocked and processor generates an exception. Please see Documentation/sparc/adi.txt for further details. This patch extends mprotect to enable ADI (TSTATE.mcde), enable/disable MCD (Memory Corruption Detection) on selected memory ranges, enable TTE.mcd in PTEs, return ADI parameters to userspace and save/restore ADI version tags on page swap out/in or migration. ADI is not enabled by default for any task. A task must explicitly enable ADI on a memory range and set version tag for ADI to be effective for the task.

mm: add unmap_mapping_pages() Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do that. That's a sign of a bad interface. Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

mm: introduce get_user_pages_longterm Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2. Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to keep an elevated page count indefinitely. This is distinct from usages like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient. The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation completes (under kernel control). In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page reference at some undefined point in the future. This is untenable for filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait for pages in a mapping to become idle. Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for a later patch series. Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references. I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings were supported by the kernel. The behavior regression this policy change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting a filesystem in dax mode. It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same constraints since it does not support file space management operations like hole-punch. This patch (of 4): Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against filesytem-dax vmas. Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are explicitly allowed. This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease" mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and V4L2).

mm: speed up cancel_dirty_page() for clean pages Patch series "Speed up page cache truncation", v1. When rebasing our enterprise distro to a newer kernel (from 4.4 to 4.12) we have noticed a regression in bonnie++ benchmark when deleting files. Eventually we have tracked this down to a fact that page cache truncation got slower by about 10%. There were both gains and losses in the above interval of kernels but we have been able to identify that commit 83929372f629 ("filemap: prepare find and delete operations for huge pages") caused about 10% regression on its own. After some investigation it didn't seem easily possible to fix the regression while maintaining the THP in page cache functionality so we've decided to optimize the page cache truncation path instead to make up for the change. This series is a result of that effort. Patch 1 is an easy speedup of cancel_dirty_page(). Patches 2-6 refactor page cache truncation code so that it is easier to batch radix tree operations. Patch 7 implements batching of deletes from the radix tree which more than makes up for the original regression. This patch (of 7): cancel_dirty_page() does quite some work even for clean pages (fetching of mapping, locking of memcg, atomic bit op on page flags) so it accounts for ~2.5% of cost of truncation of a clean page. That is not much but still dumb for something we don't need at all. Check whether a page is actually dirty and avoid any work if not.

mm: zero reserved and unavailable struct pages Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory (because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved. Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by going through __init_single_page(). In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not contain any data. One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS). One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e. KVM). Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly. The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator: for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end) Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page(). === Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing: Run tested on qemu with the following arguments: -enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2 This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages. They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255]. Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does not reserve [159, 255] ones. e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are available: [1 , 158] [256, 130783] Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing! Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039] pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are. However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct pages is with memory hotplug. Because, that path operates at 2M boundaries (section_nr). And checks if 2M range of pages is hot removable. It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is created), and checks if that section is hot removable. In this case start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0. Later pfn is converted to struct page, and some fields are checked. Now, if we do not zero struct pages, we get unpredictable results. In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test without this patch applied: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x35/0x90 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT ... task: ffff88001f4e2900 task.stack: ffffc90000314000 RIP: 0010:is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x35/0x90 Call Trace: ? is_mem_section_removable+0x5a/0xd0 show_mem_removable+0x6b/0xa0 dev_attr_show+0x1b/0x50 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xa1/0x100 kernfs_seq_show+0x22/0x30 seq_read+0x1ac/0x3a0 kernfs_fop_read+0x36/0x190 ? security_file_permission+0x90/0xb0 __vfs_read+0x16/0x30 vfs_read+0x81/0x130 SyS_read+0x44/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbd Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171013173214.27300-7-pasha.tatashin@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com> Tested-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: David S.

mm: consolidate page table accounting Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level, but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too. This patch switches page table accounting to single counter. mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree may be different. The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.) OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds. Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables are less than a page in size. The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

mm: account pud page tables On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35b66b ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

This bug does cause visible regressions. In arch_vma_name the vmflags are tested against VM_MPX. With the incorrect value of VM_MPX, a number of vmas (such as the stack) test positive and end up being marked as "[mpx]" in /proc/N/maps instead of their correct names.

mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

mm,fork: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one important way. If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty. If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in the child after fork. Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs. MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs. The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork. Examples of this would be: - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid check, which is too slow without a PID cache) - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification) - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork) - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork) The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork. A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called. It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically. The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior MADV_WIPEONFORK.

mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M. But on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M LLC (last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread. If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page. To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page, the order to clear sub-pages is changed. In quite some situation, we can get the address that the application will access after we clear the huge page, for example, in a page fault handler. Instead of clearing the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to access last. This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and sub-pages around it more cache-hot too. If we cannot know the address the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be the the address the application will access. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699 system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case creates 72 processes, each process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin to the end. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~7.9% Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end to begin too. But tests show no visible performance difference in the tests. May because the size of page is small compared with the cache size. Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the order of sub-pages to clear. The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another patch.

mm: add vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree. This has three major drawbacks: 1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of zeroed memory. 2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. 3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more complex. This series solves these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a common 4k zero page instead. This reduces memory usage and decreases latencies for some workloads, and it simplifies the DAX code, removing over 100 lines in total. This patch (of 5): To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault() call. Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page(): case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page() returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper. We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults. This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If 'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified KVM uses get_user_pages() to resolve its stage2 faults. KVM sets the FOLL_HWPOISON flag causing faultin_page() to return -EHWPOISON when it finds a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. KVM handles these hwpoison pages as a special case. (check_user_page_hwpoison()) When huge pages are involved, this doesn't work so well. get_user_pages() calls follow_hugetlb_page(), which stops early if it receives VM_FAULT_HWPOISON from hugetlb_fault(), eventually returning -EFAULT to the caller. The step to map this to -EHWPOISON based on the FOLL_ flags is missing. The hwpoison special case is skipped, and -EFAULT is returned to user-space, causing Qemu or kvmtool to exit. Instead, move this VM_FAULT_ to errno mapping code into a header file and use it from faultin_page() and follow_hugetlb_page(). With this, KVM works as expected. This isn't a problem for arm64 today as we haven't enabled MEMORY_FAILURE, but I can't see any reason this doesn't happen on x86 too, so I think this should be a fix. This doesn't apply earlier than stable's v4.11.1 due to all sorts of cleanup. [james.morse@arm.com: add vm_fault_to_errno() call to faultin_page()] suggested.

treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers Patch series "kvmalloc", v5. There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc fallback is available. As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory subsystem proper. Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet was not opposed [2] to convert them as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com This patch (of 9): Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive user visible action. This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g. ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be fixed separately. While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there. kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die slowly.

mm: enable page poisoning early at boot On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single reference to fix pmem crash The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good. The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86 get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures. (The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.) But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on. One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.) So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into __put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery: Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap() reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the page to drop that reference. This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(), since it now maintains its own elevated reference. This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going forward.

mm, madvise: fail with ENOMEM when splitting vma will hit max_map_count 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.

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmaps 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.

mm: replace FAULT_FLAG_SIZE with parameter to huge_fault Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the correct locations. More than one kernel oops was introduced due to difficulties of getting the placement correctly. Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault that indicates the size of the page entry. This makes the code easier to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

mm, x86: add support for PUD-sized transparent hugepages The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs. This patch adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX. It does not include support for anonymous pages. x86 support code also added. Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge PMDs. The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in mm_walk works. The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method, whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or ->pte_entry. The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is stable.

mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_fault Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2. The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on x86 for device dax. The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX. I have forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc. The current submission has only the necessary code to support device DAX. Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in hugetlbfs. Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file. We have customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous version of these patches [1]. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52 Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle: There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume 10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a server; we are looking at the following: processes : 10,000 memory : 6TB pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings it down to a reasonable level. Memory sizes will keep increasing; so this number will keep increasing. An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical. Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable. This patch (of 3): In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault. The vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

lib/show_mem.c: teach show_mem to work with the given nodemask show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see new_node_page). Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

powerpc: do not make the entire heap executable On 32-bit powerpc the ELF PLT sections of binaries (built with --bss-plt, or with a toolchain which defaults to it) look like this: [17] .sbss NOBITS 0002aff8 01aff8 000014 00 WA 0 0 4 [18] .plt NOBITS 0002b00c 01aff8 000084 00 WAX 0 0 4 [19] .bss NOBITS 0002b090 01aff8 0000a4 00 WA 0 0 4 Which results in an ELF load header: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align LOAD 0x019c70 0x00029c70 0x00029c70 0x01388 0x014c4 RWE 0x10000 This is all correct, the load region containing the PLT is marked as executable. Note that the PLT starts at 0002b00c but the file mapping ends at 0002aff8, so the PLT falls in the 0 fill section described by the load header, and after a page boundary. Unfortunately the generic ELF loader ignores the X bit in the load headers when it creates the 0 filled non-file backed mappings. It assumes all of these mappings are RW BSS sections, which is not the case for PPC. gcc/ld has an option (--secure-plt) to not do this, this is said to incur a small performance penalty. Currently, to support 32-bit binaries with PLT in BSS kernel maps *entire brk area* with executable rights for all binaries, even --secure-plt ones. Stop doing that. Teach the ELF loader to check the X bit in the relevant load header and create 0 filled anonymous mappings that are executable if the load header requests that. Test program showing the difference in /proc/$PID/maps: int main() { char buf[16*1024]; char *p = malloc(123); /* make "[heap]" mapping appear */ int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY); int len = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); write(1, buf, len); printf("%p\n", p); return 0; } Compiled using: gcc -mbss-plt -m32 -Os test.c -otest Unpatched ppc64 kernel: 00100000-00120000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 0fe10000-0ffd0000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffd0000-0ffe0000 r--p 001b0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffe0000-0fff0000 rw-p 001c0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10690000-106c0000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] f7f70000-f7fa0000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7fa0000-f7fb0000 r--p 00020000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7fb0000-f7fc0000 rw-p 00030000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so ffa90000-ffac0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 0x10690008 Patched ppc64 kernel: 00100000-00120000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 0fe10000-0ffd0000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffd0000-0ffe0000 r--p 001b0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffe0000-0fff0000 rw-p 001c0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10180000-101b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] ^^^^ this has changed f7c60000-f7c90000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7c90000-f7ca0000 r--p 00020000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7ca0000-f7cb0000 rw-p 00030000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so ff860000-ff890000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 0x10180008 The patch was originally posted in 2012 by Jason Gunthorpe and apparently ignored: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/30/138 Lightly run-tested.

userfaultfd: shmem: introduce vma_is_shmem Currently userfault relies on vma_is_anonymous and vma_is_hugetlb to ensure compatibility of a VMA with userfault. Introduction of vma_is_shmem allows detection if tmpfs backed VMAs, so that they may be used with userfaultfd. Current implementation presumes usage of vma_is_shmem only by slow path routines in userfaultfd, therefore the vma_is_shmem is not made inline to leave the few remaining free bits in vm_flags.

dax: add tracepoint infrastructure, PMD tracing Tracepoints are the standard way to capture debugging and tracing information in many parts of the kernel, including the XFS and ext4 filesystems. Create a tracepoint header for FS DAX and add the first DAX tracepoints to the PMD fault handler. This allows the tracing for DAX to be done in the same way as the filesystem tracing so that developers can look at them together and get a coherent idea of what the system is doing. I added both an entry and exit tracepoint because future patches will add tracepoints to child functions of dax_iomap_pmd_fault() like dax_pmd_load_hole() and dax_pmd_insert_mapping(). We want those messages to be wrapped by the parent function tracepoints so the code flow is more easily understood. Having entry and exit tracepoints for faults also allows us to easily see what filesystems functions were called during the fault. These filesystem functions get executed via iomap_begin() and iomap_end() calls, for example, and will have their own tracepoints. For PMD faults we primarily want to understand the type of mapping, the fault flags, the faulting address and whether it fell back to 4k faults. If it fell back to 4k faults the tracepoints should let us understand why. I named the new tracepoint header file "fs_dax.h" to allow for device DAX to have its own separate tracing header in the same directory at some point. Here is an example output for these events from a successful PMD fault: big-1441 [005] .... 32.582758: xfs_filemap_pmd_fault: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003 big-1441 [005] .... 32.582776: dax_pmd_fault: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003 shared WRITE|ALLOW_RETRY|KILLABLE|USER address 0x10505000 vm_start 0x10200000 vm_end 0x10700000 pgoff 0x200 max_pgoff 0x1400 big-1441 [005] .... 32.583292: dax_pmd_fault_done: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003 shared WRITE|ALLOW_RETRY|KILLABLE|USER address 0x10505000 vm_start 0x10200000 vm_end 0x10700000 pgoff 0x200 max_pgoff 0x1400 NOPAGE Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1484085142-2297-3-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result in data loss in the following sequence: 1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the pmd_t dirty and writeable 2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected. 3) more mmap writes to the PMD. These don't cause any page faults since the pmd_t is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean. 4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree entry was clean. 5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could still have been in the processor cache, and is lost. Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync operation 2). This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in flushes in the fsync that happens in step 4).

mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).

Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the series! This patch (of 20): To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully handled and memcg charge must not be canceled.

mm: join struct fault_env and vm_fault Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() Unexport the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and replaces invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions. In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked() with get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags. In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass different tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane replacement in these cases (having added manual acquisition and release of mmap_sem.) Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH flag. However, this flag was originally silently dropped by commit 1e9877902dc7 ("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this appears to have been unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not an issue.

mm: add locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()". This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please. It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality. This is necessary as the invocation of __get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do so. Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced with the appropriate higher-level replacement - get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.) This patch (of 2): Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked(). Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*() functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux.

mm: unexport __get_user_pages() This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function. Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to this function from its one user, kvm. We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call stacks: get_user_page_nowait(): get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL) __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL, false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH) __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL) check_user_page_hwpoison(): get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL) __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH) __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL, NULL, NULL) Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages() This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug"). In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed users warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc allocators. This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would appreciate a slightly different warning message. This is already handled by the fmt parameter except that "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)" is printed anyway. This might be quite misleading because it might be a vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is not the culprit here. Fix this by always using the fmt string and only print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g. order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context). Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch will reuse it also for !failure cases.

mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walk The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the pte/pmd manipulations). So it's not safe to wait the caller to update the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks. The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks. The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma. migrate mprotect ------------ ------------- migrating in "next" vma vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and # extends "current" vma # current vma is not with # vm_page_prot updated remove_migration_ptes read vm_page_prot of current "vma" establish pte with wrong permissions vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late! change_protection in the old vma range only, next range is not updated This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction in the background. Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger, in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen. This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN to: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully. It has the added benefits that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range, as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before releasing the rmap_locks).

mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not 0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree descending and increased cache footprint. This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%, when the type of the swap device is 1.

mm: introduce arch_reserved_kernel_pages() Currently arch specific code can reserve memory blocks but alloc_large_system_hash() may not take it into consideration when sizing the hashes. This can lead to bigger hash than required and lead to no available memory for other purposes. This is specifically true for systems with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled. One approach to solve this problem would be to walk through the memblock regions and calculate the available memory and base the size of hash system on the available memory. The other approach would be to depend on the architecture to provide the number of pages that are reserved. This change provides hooks to allow the architecture to provide the required info.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9" This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd. Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details. Some of the broad motivations for this are; 1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the page allocator paths. 2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will always be different to a single-zone node. it was scheduled on as a result. 3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance. 4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim. The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use 64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem ratios than we worried about in the past. Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves similarly on all nodes. The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48 core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA machine behaved similarly. pagealloc --------- This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are shown as the other orders were comparable. 4.7.0-rc4 4.7.0-rc4 mmotm-20160623 nodelru-v9 Min total-odr0-1 490.00 ( 0.00%) 457.00 ( 6.73%) Min total-odr0-2 347.00 ( 0.00%) 329.00 ( 5.19%) Min total-odr0-4 288.00 ( 0.00%) 273.00 ( 5.21%) Min total-odr0-8 251.00 ( 0.00%) 239.00 ( 4.78%) Min total-odr0-16 234.00 ( 0.00%) 222.00 ( 5.13%) Min total-odr0-32 223.00 ( 0.00%) 211.00 ( 5.38%) Min total-odr0-64 217.00 ( 0.00%) 208.00 ( 4.15%) Min total-odr0-128 214.00 ( 0.00%) 204.00 ( 4.67%) Min total-odr0-256 250.00 ( 0.00%) 230.00 ( 8.00%) Min total-odr0-512 271.00 ( 0.00%) 269.00 ( 0.74%) Min total-odr0-1024 291.00 ( 0.00%) 282.00 ( 3.09%) Min total-odr0-2048 303.00 ( 0.00%) 296.00 ( 2.31%) Min total-odr0-4096 311.00 ( 0.00%) 309.00 ( 0.64%) Min total-odr0-8192 316.00 ( 0.00%) 314.00 ( 0.63%) Min total-odr0-16384 317.00 ( 0.00%) 315.00 ( 0.63%) Min total-odr1-1 742.00 ( 0.00%) 712.00 ( 4.04%) Min total-odr1-2 562.00 ( 0.00%) 530.00 ( 5.69%) Min total-odr1-4 457.00 ( 0.00%) 433.00 ( 5.25%) Min total-odr1-8 411.00 ( 0.00%) 381.00 ( 7.30%) Min total-odr1-16 381.00 ( 0.00%) 356.00 ( 6.56%) Min total-odr1-32 372.00 ( 0.00%) 346.00 ( 6.99%) Min total-odr1-64 372.00 ( 0.00%) 343.00 ( 7.80%) Min total-odr1-128 375.00 ( 0.00%) 351.00 ( 6.40%) Min total-odr1-256 379.00 ( 0.00%) 351.00 ( 7.39%) Min total-odr1-512 385.00 ( 0.00%) 355.00 ( 7.79%) Min total-odr1-1024 386.00 ( 0.00%) 358.00 ( 7.25%) Min total-odr1-2048 390.00 ( 0.00%) 362.00 ( 7.18%) Min total-odr1-4096 390.00 ( 0.00%) 362.00 ( 7.18%) Min total-odr1-8192 388.00 ( 0.00%) 363.00 ( 6.44%) This shows a steady improvement throughout.

It's also worth noting that no page writes were issued from reclaim context. This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in that area. 1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will have a positive impact on compaction success rates. 2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing is required. 3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind. VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

mm: fix vm-scalability regression in cgroup-aware workingset code Commit 23047a96d7cf ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction, refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%. While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some optimizations that can be done in those paths. Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls. Also, page->mem_cgroup doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed. This cuts down on overhead quite a bit: 23047a96d7cfcfca 063f6715e77a7be5770d6081fe ---------------- -------------------------- %stddev %change %stddev \ | \ 21621405 +- 0% +11.3% 24069657 +- 2% vm-scalability.throughput [linux@roeck-us.net: drop unnecessary include file] [hannes@cmpxchg.org: add WARN_ON_ONCE()s] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160707194024.GA26580@cmpxchg.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160624175101.GA3024@cmpxchg.org Reported-by: Ye Xiaolong <xiaolong.ye@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer. In the worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible. OOM killer would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory. It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is the natural entity OOM killer considers. But this will not work because some programs are doing vfork() set_oom_adj() exec() We can achieve the same though. oom_score_adj write handler can set the oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in the middle of vfork. As a result all the processes will share the same oom_score_adj. The current implementation is rather pessimistic and checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1 holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external users yet.

mm: postpone page table allocation until we have page to map The idea (and most of code) is borrowed again: from Hugh's patchset on huge tmpfs[1]. Instead of allocation pte page table upfront, we postpone this until we have page to map in hands. This approach opens possibility to map the page as huge if filesystem supports this. Comparing to Hugh's patch I've pushed page table allocation a bit further: into do_set_pte(). This way we can postpone allocation even in faultaround case without moving do_fault_around() after __do_fault(). do_set_pte() got renamed to alloc_set_pte() as it can allocate page table if required.

mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory, vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system, their solutions are void in the long run. So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags. If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three functions which are function pointers of struct address_space_operations. 1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode); What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true* if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should return *false*. Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields. 2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping, struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode); After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give up the page migration without retrying in this time. Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions. 3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *); If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the own data structure. 4. non-lru movable page flags There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page. * PG_movable Driver should use the below function to make page movable under page_lock. void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping) It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's lower bits to represent it. #define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2 page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE; so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping so it can get right struct address_space. For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function. However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at __ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim. For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function. Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden destroying of page->mapping. Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page. * PG_isolated To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

mm: remove more IS_ERR_VALUE abuses The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned the starting address on success, and an error value on failure. The reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving like the mmap() interface does. However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion. What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer return of zero for success and negative error number on failure. So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention, and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk(). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: make vm_mmap killable All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem. This also means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the additional parameter. This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and reclaim the address space of the victim. Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to the userspace if we got killed.

mm: make faultaround produce old ptes Currently, faultaround code produces young pte. This can screw up vmscan behaviour[1], as it makes vmscan think that these pages are hot and not push them out on first round. During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of them are young. Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay resident. Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed under memory pressure. This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines without hardware accessed bit as it will not help us with reducing the number of minor page faults. We may want to disable faultaround on such machines altogether, but that's subject for separate patchset.

mm: use phys_addr_t for reserve_bootmem_region() arguments Since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions. However start and end address are passed as unsigned long. This is only 32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for ranges at 4GB and above. This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory (dom0_mem=1024M for example). This would define a reserved bootmem region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range). But since the addresses were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.

dax: Use radix tree entry lock to protect cow faults When doing cow faults, we cannot directly fill in PTE as we do for other faults as we rely on generic code to do proper accounting of the cowed page. We also have no page to lock to protect against races with truncate as other faults have and we need the protection to extend until the moment generic code inserts cowed page into PTE thus at that point we have no protection of fs-specific i_mmap_sem. So far we relied on using i_mmap_lock for the protection however that is completely special to cow faults. To make fault locking more uniform use DAX entry lock instead.

mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false positive copy-on-writes. total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount() that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount() if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed, due to its higher runtime cost. This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the whole THP physical range. Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called. Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice instead of just once. Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version. Mike Marciniszyn said: : Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to : commit 61f5d698cc97 ("mm: re-enable THP") : : The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA : writes data to a passive peer using the first and RDMA reads it back : into the second MR and compares that data.

numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture. On s390 this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte. On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance, but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is available. In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be skipped. On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel. This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd" variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

mm: exclude HugeTLB pages from THP page_mapped() logic HugeTLB pages cannot be split, so we use the compound_mapcount to track rmaps. Currently page_mapped() will check the compound_mapcount, but will also go through the constituent pages of a THP compound page and query the individual _mapcount's too. Unfortunately, page_mapped() does not distinguish between HugeTLB and THP compound pages and assumes that a compound page always needs to have HPAGE_PMD_NR pages querying. For most cases when dealing with HugeTLB this is just inefficient, but for scenarios where the HugeTLB page size is less than the pmd block size (e.g. when using contiguous bit on ARM) this can lead to crashes. This patch adjusts the page_mapped function such that we skip the unnecessary THP reference checks for HugeTLB pages.

mm: replace open coded page to virt conversion with page_to_virt() The open coded conversion from struct page address to virtual address in lowmem_page_address() involves an intermediate conversion step to pfn number/physical address. Since the placement of the struct page array relative to the linear mapping may be completely independent from the placement of physical RAM (as is that case for arm64 after commit dfd55ad85e 'arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear region'), the conversion to physical address and back again should factor out of the equation, but unfortunately, the shifting and pointer arithmetic involved prevent this from happening, and the resulting calculation essentially subtracts the address of the start of physical memory and adds it back again, in a way that prevents the compiler from optimizing it away. Since the start of physical memory is not a build time constant on arm64, the resulting conversion involves an unnecessary memory access, which we would like to get rid of. So replace the open coded conversion with a call to page_to_virt(), and use the open coded conversion as its default definition, to be overriden by the architecture, if desired. The existing arch specific definitions of page_to_virt are all equivalent to this default definition, so by itself this patch is a no-op.

mm/gup: Remove the macro overload API migration helpers from the get_user*() APIs The pkeys changes brought about a truly hideous set of macros in: cde70140fed8 ("mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions") ... which macros are (ab-)using the fact that __VA_ARGS__ can be used to shift parameter positions in macro arguments without breaking the build and so can be used to call separate C functions depending on the number of arguments of the macro. This allowed easy migration of these 3 GUP APIs, as both these variants worked at the C level: old: ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); new: ret = get_user_pages(address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); ... while we also generated a (functionally harmless but noticeable) build time warning if the old API was used. As there are over 300 uses of these APIs, this trick eased the migration of the API and avoided excessive migration pain in linux-next. Now, with its work done, get rid of all of that complication and ugliness: 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-) ... where the linecount of the migration hack was further inflated by the fact that there are NOMMU variants of these GUP APIs as well. Much of the conversion was done in linux-next over the past couple of months, and Linus recently removed all remaining old API uses from the upstream tree in the following upstrea commit: cb107161df3c ("Convert straggling drivers to new six-argument get_user_pages()") There was one more old-API usage in mm/gup.c, in the CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP code path that ARM, ARM64 and PowerPC uses. After this commit any old API usage will break the build.

mm, oom: introduce oom reaper This patch (of 5): This is based on the idea from Mel Gorman discussed during LSFMM 2015 and independently brought up by Oleg Nesterov. The OOM killer currently allows to kill only a single task in a good hope that the task will terminate in a reasonable time and frees up its memory. Such a task (oom victim) will get an access to memory reserves via mark_oom_victim to allow a forward progress should there be a need for additional memory during exit path. It has been shown (e.g. by Tetsuo Handa) that it is not that hard to construct workloads which break the core assumption mentioned above and the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event (e.g. lock) which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator. This patch reduces the probability of such a lockup by introducing a specialized kernel thread (oom_reaper) which tries to reclaim additional memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned by the oom victim under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed when its owner is killed and kicked from the userspace anyway. There is one notable exception to this, though, if the OOM victim was in the process of coredumping the result would be incomplete. This is considered a reasonable constrain because the overall system health is more important than debugability of a particular application. A kernel thread has been chosen because we need a reliable way of invocation so workqueue context is not appropriate because all the workers might be busy (e.g. allocating memory). Kswapd which sounds like another good fit is not appropriate as well because it might get blocked on locks during reclaim as well. oom_reaper has to take mmap_sem on the target task for reading so the solution is not 100% because the semaphore might be held or blocked for write but the probability is reduced considerably wrt. basically any lock blocking forward progress as described above. In order to prevent from blocking on the lock without any forward progress we are using only a trylock and retry 10 times with a short sleep in between. Users of mmap_sem which need it for write should be carefully reviewed to use _killable waiting as much as possible and reduce allocations requests done with the lock held to absolute minimum to reduce the risk even further. The API between oom killer and oom reaper is quite trivial. wake_oom_reaper updates mm_to_reap with cmpxchg to guarantee only NULL->mm transition and oom_reaper clear this atomically once it is done with the work. This means that only a single mm_struct can be reaped at the time. As the operation is potentially disruptive we are trying to limit it to the ncessary minimum and the reaper blocks any updates while it operates on an mm. mm_struct is pinned by mm_count to allow parallel exit_mmap and a race is detected by atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users).

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

mm: migrate: do not touch page->mem_cgroup of live pages Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page, so we want to limit this as much as possible. Page migration e.g. does not have to do that. Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages. The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be zeroed after hibernation.

mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled with an option when !HIBERNATION.

mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Differentiate instruction fetches As discussed earlier, we attempt to enforce protection keys in software. However, the code checks all faults to ensure that they are not violating protection key permissions. It was assumed that all faults are either write faults where we check PKRU[key].WD (write disable) or read faults where we check the AD (access disable) bit. But, there is a third category of faults for protection keys: instruction faults. Instruction faults never run afoul of protection keys because they do not affect instruction fetches. So, plumb the PF_INSTR bit down in to the arch_vma_access_permitted() function where we do the protection key checks. We also add a new FAULT_FLAG_INSTRUCTION. This is because handle_mm_fault() is not passed the architecture-specific error_code where we keep PF_INSTR, so we need to encode the instruction fetch information in to the arch-generic fault flags.

mm/core: Do not enforce PKEY permissions on remote mm access We try to enforce protection keys in software the same way that we do in hardware. (See long example below). But, we only want to do this when accessing our *own* process's memory. If GDB set PKRU[6].AD=1 (disable access to PKEY 6), then tried to PTRACE_POKE a target process which just happened to have some mprotect_pkey(pkey=6) memory, we do *not* want to deny the debugger access to that memory. PKRU is fundamentally a thread-local structure and we do not want to enforce it on access to _another_ thread's data. This gets especially tricky when we have workqueues or other delayed-work mechanisms that might run in a random process's context. We can check that we only enforce pkeys when operating on our *own* mm, but delayed work gets performed when a random user context is active. We might end up with a situation where a delayed-work gup fails when running randomly under its "own" task but succeeds when running under another process. We want to avoid that. To avoid that, we use the new GUP flag: FOLL_REMOTE and add a fault flag: FAULT_FLAG_REMOTE. They indicate that we are walking an mm which is not guranteed to be the same as current->mm and should not be subject to protection key enforcement. Thanks to Jerome Glisse for pointing out this scenario.

x86/mm/pkeys: Add arch-specific VMA protection bits Lots of things seem to do: vma->vm_page_prot = vm_get_page_prot(flags); and the ptes get created right from things we pull out of ->vm_page_prot. So it is very convenient if we can store the protection key in flags and vm_page_prot, just like the existing permission bits (_PAGE_RW/PRESENT). It greatly reduces the amount of plumbing and arch-specific hacking we have to do in generic code. This also takes the new PROT_PKEY{0,1,2,3} flags and turns *those* in to VM_ flags for vma->vm_flags. The protection key values are stored in 4 places: 1. "prot" argument to system calls 2. vma->vm_flags, filled from the mmap "prot" 3. vma->vm_page prot, filled from vma->vm_flags 4. the PTE itself. The pseudocode for these for steps are as follows: mmap(PROT_PKEY*) vma->vm_flags = ... | arch_calc_vm_prot_bits(mmap_prot); vma->vm_page_prot = ... | arch_vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags); pte = pfn | vma->vm_page_prot Note that this provides a new definitions for x86: arch_vm_get_page_prot() Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Store protection bits in high VMA flags vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags on 32-bit architectures. The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit platforms. We've steered away from using the unused high VMA bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it on 32-bit. Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on 32-bit CPUs. This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option to make them available. Sparse complains about these constants unless we explicitly call them "UL".

mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions The concept here was a suggestion from Ingo. The implementation horrors are all mine. This allows get_user_pages(), get_user_pages_unlocked(), and get_user_pages_locked() to be called with or without the leading tsk/mm arguments. We will give a compile-time warning about the old style being __deprecated and we will also WARN_ON() if the non-remote version is used for a remote-style access. Doing this, folks will get nice warnings and will not break the build. This should be nice for -next and will hopefully let developers fix up their own code instead of maintainers needing to do it at merge time. The way we do this is hideous. It uses the __VA_ARGS__ macro functionality to call different functions based on the number of arguments passed to the macro. There's an additional hack to ensure that our EXPORT_SYMBOL() of the deprecated symbols doesn't trigger a warning. We should be able to remove this mess as soon as -rc1 hits in the release after this is merged.

mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote() For protection keys, we need to understand whether protections should be enforced in software or not. In general, we enforce protections when working on our own task, but not when on others. We call these "current" and "remote" operations. This patch introduces a new get_user_pages() variant: get_user_pages_remote() Which is a replacement for when get_user_pages() is called on non-current tsk/mm. We also introduce a new gup flag: FOLL_REMOTE which can be used for the "__" gup variants to get this new behavior. The uprobes is_trap_at_addr() location holds mmap_sem and calls get_user_pages(current->mm) on an instruction address. This makes it a pretty unique gup caller. Being an instruction access and also really originating from the kernel (vs. the app), I opted to consider this a 'remote' access where protection keys will not be enforced. Without protection keys, this patch should not change any behavior.

proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million combinations. The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch. Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts. The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation. Siddesh said: "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the information is available in the thread-specific files" Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: bring in additional flag for fixup_user_fault to signal unlock During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings A dax mapping establishes a pte with _PAGE_DEVMAP set when the driver has established a devm_memremap_pages() mapping, i.e. when the pfn_t return from ->direct_access() has PFN_DEV and PFN_MAP set. Later, when encountering _PAGE_DEVMAP during a page table walk we lookup and pin a struct dev_pagemap instance to keep the result of pfn_to_page() valid until put_page().

mm, dax: dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd A dax-huge-page mapping while it uses some thp helpers is ultimately not a transparent huge page. The distinction is especially important in the get_user_pages() path. pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds from pmd_huge() and pmd_trans_huge() which have slightly different semantics. Explicitly mark the pmd_trans_huge() helpers that dax needs by adding pmd_devmap() checks.

x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment vmemmap_populate() In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for allocating memory for the memmap array. The default vmemmap_populate() allocates page table storage area from the page allocator. Given persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to store the memmap in 'System Memory'. Instead vmem_altmap represents pre-allocated "device pages" to satisfy vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() requests.

thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page() Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal situation. It can lead to memory overhead. Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context. It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want. The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from list on freeing through compound page destructor. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: hwpoison: adjust for new thp refcounting Some mm-related BUG_ON()s could trigger from hwpoison code due to recent changes in thp refcounting rule. This patch fixes them up. In the new refcounting, we no longer use tail->_mapcount to keep tail's refcount, and thereby we can simplify get/put_hwpoison_page(). And another change is that tail's refcount is not transferred to the raw page during thp split (more precisely, in new rule we don't take refcount on tail page any more.) So when we need thp split, we have to transfer the refcount properly to the 4kB soft-offlined page before migration. thp split code goes into core code only when precheck (total_mapcount(head) == page_count(head) - 1) passes to avoid useless split, where we assume that one refcount is held by the caller of thp split and the others are taken via mapping. To meet this assumption, this patch moves thp split part in soft_offline_page() after get_any_page().

mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis. Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have now. The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to track PTE mapcount. We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time. Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage. page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page. Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters. It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away. We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page. These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount. This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common cases.

This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now.

Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable for anonymous memory accounting. But in this patch we go further, and the changes are bundled together as: * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm * account anonymous executable areas as executable * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends only on vm_flags state: VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE -> code (VmExe + VmLib in proc) VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN -> stack (VmStk) VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data (VmData) The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called "shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO area. - RLIMIT_AS limits whole address space "VmSize" - RLIMIT_STACK limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually) - RLIMIT_DATA now limits "VmData" Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Quentin Casasnovas <quentin.casasnovas@oracle.com> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@google.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: allow GFP_{FS,IO} for page_cache_read page cache allocation page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to allocate a new page. This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is called from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault. This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally. ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim. There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used. The GFP_NOFS protection might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure is propagated up the page fault path and end up in pagefault_out_of_memory. We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different allocation context. Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO) because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have to respect those.

mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for fragmentation. The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values, which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for offset generation on a system. The direct motivation for this change was in response to the libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to information provided by Google's project zero at: http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack. Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded 8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more likely to be noticed. The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the user-space accessible virtual address space. When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location, which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced, preventing very large allocations. This patch (of 4): ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place the trade-off.

As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces, this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES. The next patch will expose it to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was used before. The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

mm: Add vm_insert_pfn_prot() The x86 vvar vma contains pages with differing cacheability flags. x86 currently implements this by manually inserting all the ptes using (io_)remap_pfn_range when the vma is set up. x86 wants to move to using .fault with VM_FAULT_NOPAGE to set up the mappings as needed. The correct API to use to insert a pfn in .fault is vm_insert_pfn(), but vm_insert_pfn() can't override the vma's cache mode, and the HPET page in particular needs to be uncached despite the fact that the rest of the VMA is cached. Add vm_insert_pfn_prot() to support varying cacheability within the same non-COW VMA in a more sane manner. x86 could alternatively use multiple VMAs, but that's messy, would break CRIU, and would create unnecessary VMAs that would waste memory.

mm: make compound_head() robust Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch. That means page->compound_head shares storage space with: - page->lru.next; - page->next; - page->rcu_head.next; That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses bit 0 of the word. page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can get false positive PageTail().

For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion. For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer to destructor.

mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used this can incur a high penalty for locking. For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc). This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in. Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set. Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson <emunson@akamai.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

mm: use only per-device readahead limit Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values: 1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead()) 2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages) There are devices, which require custom readahead limit. For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices multiplied by chunk size times 2. Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value (POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size). If so, why do we need two limits? I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and use per-device readahead limit everywhere. Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly increase i/o performance: before: dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s after: $ dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s (It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage). This patch doesn't change sys_readahead and madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) behavior introduced by 6d2be915e589b58 ("mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages").

memcg: fix dirty page migration The problem starts with a file backed dirty page which is charged to a memcg. Then page migration is used to move oldpage to newpage. Migration: - copies the oldpage's data to newpage - clears oldpage.PG_dirty - sets newpage.PG_dirty - uncharges oldpage from memcg - charges newpage to memcg Clearing oldpage.PG_dirty decrements the charged memcg's dirty page count. However, because newpage is not yet charged, setting newpage.PG_dirty does not increment the memcg's dirty page count. After migration completes newpage.PG_dirty is eventually cleared, often in account_page_cleaned(). At this time newpage is charged to a memcg so the memcg's dirty page count is decremented which causes underflow because the count was not previously incremented by migration. This underflow causes balance_dirty_pages() to see a very large unsigned number of dirty memcg pages which leads to aggressive throttling of buffered writes by processes in non root memcg. This issue: - can harm performance of non root memcg buffered writes. - can report too small (even negative) values in memory.stat[(total_)dirty] counters of all memcg, including the root. To avoid polluting migrate.c with #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG checks, introduce page_memcg() and set_page_memcg() helpers. Test: 0) setup and enter limited memcg mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test echo 1G > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs 1) buffered writes baseline dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k sync grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat 2) buffered writes with compaction antagonist to induce migration yes 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory & rm -rf /data/tmp/foo dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k kill % sync grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat 3) buffered writes without antagonist, should match baseline rm -rf /data/tmp/foo dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k sync grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat (speed, dirty residue) unpatched patched 1) 841 MB/s 0 dirty pages 886 MB/s 0 dirty pages 2) 611 MB/s -33427456 dirty pages 793 MB/s 0 dirty pages 3) 114 MB/s -33427456 dirty pages 891 MB/s 0 dirty pages Notice that unpatched baseline performance (1) fell after migration (3): 841 -> 114 MB/s.

mm: rename and move get/set_freepage_migratetype The pair of get/set_freepage_migratetype() functions are used to cache pageblock migratetype for a page put on a pcplist, so that it does not have to be retrieved again when the page is put on a free list (e.g. when pcplists become full). Historically it was also assumed that the value is accurate for pages on freelists (as the functions' names unfortunately suggest), but that cannot be guaranteed without affecting various allocator fast paths. It is in fact not needed and all such uses have been removed. The last remaining (but pointless) usage related to pages of freelists is in move_freepages(), which this patch removes. To prevent further confusion, rename the functions to get/set_pcppage_migratetype() and expand their description.

mm: introduce vma_is_anonymous(vma) helper special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken. It seems it was always wrong, but this didn't matter until vdso/vvar started to use more than one page. And after this change vma_is_anonymous() becomes really trivial, it simply checks vm_ops == NULL. However, I do think the helper makes sense. There are a lot of ->vm_ops != NULL checks, the helper makes the caller's code more understandable (self-documented) and this is more grep-friendly. This patch (of 3): Preparation. Add the new simple helper, vma_is_anonymous(vma), and change handle_pte_fault() to use it. It will have more users. The name is not accurate, say a hpet_mmap()'ed vma is not anonymous. Perhaps it should be named vma_has_fault() instead. But it matches the logic in mmap.c/memory.c (see next changes). "True" just means that a page fault will use do_anonymous_page().

mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc(): if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping) skb->pfmemalloc = true; It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc. So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page. And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the server which has been dropped and thus never arrive. The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this nastiness from unspoiled eyes. The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).

This function maps virtual addresses from given start and fills given array with page frame numbers of the corresponding pages. If given start belongs to a normal vma, the function grabs reference to each of the pages to pin them in memory. If start belongs to VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP vma, we don't touch page structures.

mm: enhance region_is_ram() to region_intersects() region_is_ram() is used to prevent the establishment of aliased mappings to physical "System RAM" with incompatible cache settings. However, it uses "-1" to indicate both "unknown" memory ranges (ranges not described by platform firmware) and "mixed" ranges (where the parameters describe a range that partially overlaps "System RAM"). Fix this up by explicitly tracking the "unknown" vs "mixed" resource cases and returning REGION_INTERSECTS, REGION_MIXED, or REGION_DISJOINT. This re-write also adds support for detecting when the requested region completely eclipses all of a resource. Note, the implementation treats overlaps between "unknown" and the requested memory type as REGION_INTERSECTS. Finally, other memory types can be passed in by name, for now the only usage "System RAM". Suggested-by: Luis R.

mm: meminit: make __early_pfn_to_nid SMP-safe and introduce meminit_pfn_in_nid __early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory initialisation is single-threaded. Parallel initialisation of struct pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid() SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information. early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early in boot due to the use of a global static variable. meminit_pfn_in_nid() is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

mm/memory-failure: introduce get_hwpoison_page() for consistent refcount handling memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective. When MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared, memory_failure() takes it in it's own. In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller. For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages. Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page(). To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page() to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison code. memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns without completing page isolation. This is not good because PageHWPoison on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps. So this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp" case and "thp split failed" case, expecting an MCE(SRAR) generated by later access afterward will properly free such thps.

mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages Reintroduce 8d63d99a5dfb ("mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages") after removing bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in put_unrefcounted_compound_page(). THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time. Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and it's harmful because of overhead. We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using __compound_tail_refcounted() check. It excludes most common non-THP compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP users -- drivers. And it's not only about overhead. Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace. But tail page refcounting breaks it. Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on them. It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages. It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages. But unlike THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes page_mapcount() be called for tail pages. In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for such pages. But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or other serious misbehaviour. Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not, we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon() to enable tail page refcounting.

writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat updates The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb (bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the framework for the actual switching. This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates. The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another, the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together; unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu operations which are performed without holding any lock in some places. This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted, mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction. In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against mapping->tree_lock. This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching. v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order. v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too. Function names and comments updated accordingly. s/inode_wb_stat_unlocked_{begin|end}/unlocked_inode_to_wb_{begin|end}/ s/switch_wb/switch_wbs/ Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632 The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill messages). The ability to move page accounting between memcg (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more complicated than the global counter. The existing mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move accounting with stat updates. Typical update operation: memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page) if (TestSetPageDirty()) { [...] mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg) } mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg) Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead: - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just rcu_read_lock() - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave() A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(). Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some adjustments are needed: - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller. __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled. - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(), invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping(). text data bss dec hex filename 8925147 1774832 1785856 12485835 be84cb vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8925339 1774832 1785856 12486027 be858b vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-after +192 text bytes 8965977 1784992 1785856 12536825 bf4bf9 vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8966750 1784992 1785856 12537598 bf4efe vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-after +773 text bytes Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2f952.

page_writeback: revive cancel_dirty_page() in a restricted form cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea25152e56 ("page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and stat updates. While we can open-code such synchronization in each account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward and verbose. This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form. All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned() invocation if the page was dirty. This helper covers all account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache() which is a special case anyway and left alone. As this leaves no module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped from it. This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional changes.

mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAP This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.

mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time. Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and it's harmful because of overhead. We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using __compound_tail_refcounted() check. It excludes most common non-THP compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP users -- drivers. And it's not only about overhead. Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace. But tail page refcounting breaks it. Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on them. It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages. It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages. But unlike THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes page_mapcount() be called for tail pages. In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for such pages. But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or other serious misbehaviour. Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not, we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon() to enable tail page refcounting.

mm: consolidate all page-flags helpers in <linux/page-flags.h> Currently we take a naive approach to page flags on compound pages - we set the flag on the page without consideration if the flag makes sense for tail page or for compound page in general. This patchset try to sort this out by defining per-flag policy on what need to be done if page-flag helper operate on compound page. The last patch in the patchset also sanitizes usege of page->mapping for tail pages. We don't define the meaning of page->mapping for tail pages. Currently it's always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head page and potentially lead to problems. For now I caught one case of illegal usage of page flags or ->mapping: sound subsystem allocates pages with __GFP_COMP and maps them with PTEs. It leads to setting dirty bit on tail pages and access to tail_page's ->mapping. I don't see any bad behaviour caused by this, but worth fixing anyway. This patchset makes more sense if you take my THP refcounting into account: we will see more compound pages mapped with PTEs and we need to define behaviour of flags on compound pages to avoid bugs. This patch (of 16): We have page-flags helper function declarations/definitions spread over several header files. Let's consolidate them in <linux/page-flags.h>. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page() This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3). Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f982846 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation"). Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten data might be lost. Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough here. cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete invalidation. The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c796f ("Clean up and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and 3e67c0987d75 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit ecdfc9787fe5 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f53 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal"). Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit 1b3b4a1a2deb ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()"). Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f1b ("Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

mm: allow page fault handlers to perform the COW Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow the handler to perform the COW operation itself. The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

pagewalk: improve vma handling Current implementation of page table walker has a fundamental problem in vma handling, which started when we tried to handle vma(VM_HUGETLB). Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code complicated and bug-prone. From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma. In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and introduce a new callback ->test_walk(). Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

mm: gup: add get_user_pages_locked and get_user_pages_unlocked FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY allows the page fault to drop the mmap_sem for reading to reduce the mmap_sem contention (for writing), like while waiting for I/O completion. The problem is that right now practically no get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging that nifty feature. Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault. However get_user_pages_fast remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either (the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem). So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page fault to the whole kernel. It makes most important places (including gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times during I/O. The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is fully covered by this patch). A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually. The "vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the mmap_sem is released). While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ . The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I need to drop the mmap_sem first. So this patch also ensures that all memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault (no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set. Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken only when the pagetable is already mapped. The second fault attempt after the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry without it. This patch (of 5): We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked. The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during the call. Example from: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); to: int locked = 1; down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked); if (locked) up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); into: get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages); Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any value as before. Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we just make it explicit by dropping the parameter). If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.

mm: account pmd page tables to the process Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from unmap/zap codepath We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure. Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches. Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that. For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would like to see acks from maintainers. In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

mm: don't use compound_head() in virt_to_head_page() compound_head() is implemented with assumption that there would be race condition when checking tail flag. This assumption is only true when we try to access arbitrary positioned struct page. The situation that virt_to_head_page() is called is different case. We call virt_to_head_page() only in the range of allocated pages, so there is no race condition on tail flag. In this case, we don't need to handle race condition and we can reduce overhead slightly. This patch implements compound_head_fast() which is similar with compound_head() except tail flag race handling. And then, virt_to_head_page() uses this optimized function to improve performance. I saw 1.8% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free, (14.063 ns -> 13.810 ns) if target object is on tail page.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

mm: provide a find_special_page vma operation The optional find_special_page VMA operation is used to lookup the pages backing a VMA. This is useful in cases where the normal mechanisms for finding the page don't work. This is only called if the PTE is special. One use case is a Xen PV guest mapping foreign pages into userspace. In a Xen PV guest, the PTEs contain MFNs so get_user_pages() (for example) must do an MFN to PFN (M2P) lookup before it can get the page. For foreign pages (those owned by another guest) the M2P lookup returns the PFN as seen by the foreign guest (which would be completely the wrong page for the local guest). This cannot be fixed up improving the M2P lookup since one MFN may be mapped onto two or more pages so getting the right page is impossible given just the MFN.

mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma that is reported by /proc/maps. This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done. And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit d7824370e263: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area. This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit. Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test, but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone() The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well. Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication. Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value. Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot zone. For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much duplication of both code and runtime work. This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes. Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

mm/debug-pagealloc: prepare boottime configurable on/off Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we can't use this good feature in many cases. Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our development process greatly. This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of page_ext. This patch implements this.

x86, mpx: Introduce VM_MPX to indicate that a VMA is MPX specific MPX-enabled applications using large swaths of memory can potentially have large numbers of bounds tables in process address space to save bounds information. These tables can take up huge swaths of memory (as much as 80% of the memory on the system) even if we clean them up aggressively. In the worst-case scenario, the tables can be 4x the size of the data structure being tracked. IOW, a 1-page structure can require 4 bounds-table pages. Being this huge, our expectation is that folks using MPX are going to be keen on figuring out how much memory is being dedicated to it. So we need a way to track memory use for MPX. If we want to specifically track MPX VMAs we need to be able to distinguish them from normal VMAs, and keep them from getting merged with normal VMAs. A new VM_ flag set only on MPX VMAs does both of those things. With this flag, MPX bounds-table VMAs can be distinguished from other VMAs, and userspace can also walk /proc/$pid/smaps to get memory usage for MPX. In addition to this flag, we also introduce a special ->vm_ops specific to MPX VMAs (see the patch "add MPX specific mmap interface"), but currently different ->vm_ops do not by themselves prevent VMA merging, so we still need this flag. We understand that VM_ flags are scarce and are open to other options.

mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY cleared For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

x86: optimize resource lookups for ioremap We have a large university system in the UK that is experiencing very long delays modprobing the driver for a specific I/O device. The delay is from 8-10 minutes per device and there are 31 devices in the system. This 4 to 5 hour delay in starting up those I/O devices is very much a burden on the customer. There are two causes for requiring a restart/reload of the drivers. First is periodic preventive maintenance (PM) and the second is if any of the devices experience a fatal error. Both of these trigger this excessively long delay in bringing the system back up to full capability. The problem was tracked down to a very slow IOREMAP operation and the excessively long ioresource lookup to insure that the user is not attempting to ioremap RAM. These patches provide a speed up to that function. The modprobe time appears to be affected quite a bit by previous activity on the ioresource list, which I suspect is due to cache preloading. While the overall improvement is impacted by other overhead of starting the devices, this drastically improves the modprobe time. Also our system is considerably smaller so the percentages gained will not be the same. Best case improvement with the modprobe on our 20 device smallish system was from 'real 5m51.913s' to 'real 0m18.275s'. This patch (of 2): Since the ioremap operation is verifying that the specified address range is NOT RAM, it will search the entire ioresource list if the condition is true. To make matters worse, it does this one 4k page at a time. For a 128M BAR region this is 32 passes to determine the entire region does not contain any RAM addresses. This patch provides another resource lookup function, region_is_ram, that searches for the entire region specified, verifying that it is completely contained within the resource region. If it is found, then it is checked to be RAM or not, within a single pass. The return result reflects if it was found or not (-1), and whether it is RAM (1) or not (0). This allows the caller to fallback to the previous page by page search if it was not found.

mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.

vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped data ->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than silently discarding data later when writepage is called. However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic: ftruncate(fd, 0); pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0); map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); map[0] = 'a'; ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */ mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0); map[4095] = 'a'; ----> no page_mkwrite() called At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at ->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we don't have block allocated for it. This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have ->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

The rationale is that KVM will kick back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other guest process to take over. If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency. This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case of IO wait.

arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if !defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR). This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML, and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations. This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64. This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

mm: introdule compound_head_by_tail() Currently, in put_compound_page(), we have ====== if (likely(!PageTail(page))) { <------ (1) if (put_page_testzero(page)) { /* ¦* By the time all refcounts have been released ¦* split_huge_page cannot run anymore from under us. ¦*/ if (PageHead(page)) __put_compound_page(page); else __put_single_page(page); } return; } /* __split_huge_page_refcount can run under us */ page_head = compound_head(page); <------------ (2) ====== if at (1) , we fail the check, this means page is *likely* a tail page. Then at (2), as compoud_head(page) is inlined, it is : ====== static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page) { if (unlikely(PageTail(page))) { <----------- (3) struct page *head = page->first_page; smp_rmb(); if (likely(PageTail(page))) return head; } return page; } ====== here, the (3) unlikely in the case is a negative hint, because it is *likely* a tail page. So the check (3) in this case is not good, so I introduce a helper for this case. So this patch introduces compound_head_by_tail() which deals with a possible tail page(though it could be spilt by a racy thread), and make compound_head() a wrapper on it. This patch has no functional change, and it reduces the object size slightly: text data bss dec hex filename 11003 1328 16 12347 303b mm/swap.o.orig 10971 1328 16 12315 301b mm/swap.o.patched I've ran "perf top -e branch-miss" to observe branch-miss in this case. As Michael points out, it's a slow path, so only very few times this case happens. But I grep'ed the code base, and found there still are some other call sites could be benifited from this helper. And given that it only bloating up the source by only 5 lines, but with a reduced object size. I still believe this helper deserves to exsit.

x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming Using arch_vma_name to give special mappings a name is awkward. x86 currently implements it by comparing the start address of the vma to the expected address of the vdso. This requires tracking the start address of special mappings and is probably buggy if a special vma is split or moved. Improve _install_special_mapping to just name the vma directly. Use it to give the x86 vvar area a name, which should make CRIU's life easier. As a side effect, the vvar area will show up in core dumps. This could be considered weird and is fixable. [hpa: I say we accept this as-is but be prepared to deal with knocking out the vvars from core dumps if this becomes a problem.] Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/276b39b6b645fb11e345457b503f17b83c2c6fd0.1400538962.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.

mm, fs: Add vm_ops->name as an alternative to arch_vma_name arch_vma_name sucks. It's a silly hack, and it's annoying to implement correctly. In fact, AFAICS, even the straightforward x86 implementation is incorrect (I suspect that it breaks if the vdso mapping is split or gets remapped). This adds a new vm_ops->name operation that can replace it. The followup patches will remove all uses of arch_vma_name on x86, fixing a couple of annoyances in the process.

numa: use LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT to calculate LAST_CPUPID_MASK LAST_CPUPID_MASK is calculated using LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH. However LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH itself can be 0. (when LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is set). In such a case LAST_CPUPID_MASK turns out to be 0. But with recent commit 1ae71d0319: (mm: numa: bugfix for LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS) if LAST_CPUPID_MASK is 0, page_cpupid_xchg_last() and page_cpupid_reset_last() causes page->_last_cpupid to be set to 0. This causes performance regression. Its almost as if numa_balancing is off. Fix LAST_CPUPID_MASK by using LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT instead of LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH.

mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages() Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it and collect performance data. First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct. ->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages. Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from "pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte() to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset "pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte". Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now. Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below. TODO: - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs; - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top. ========================================================================= Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM. Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is somewhere between 3 and 5.

include/linux/mm.h: remove ifdef condition The ifdef conditions in include/linux/mm.h presents three cases: - !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP) && !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID) There is no actual definition of function but include/linux/mm.h has a static inline stub defined. - defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP) && !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID) linux/mm.h does not define a prototype, but mm/page_alloc.c defines the function. Hence, compiler reports the following warning: mm/page_alloc.c:4300:15: warning: no previous prototype for `__early_pfn_to_nid' [-Wmissing-prototypes] - defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID) The architecture defines the function, and linux/mm.h has a prototype. Thus, join the conditions of Case 2 and 3 ie eliminate the ifdef condition of CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID to eliminate the missing prototype warning from file mm/page_alloc.c.

mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

This can be reproduced with default config since 3.11 kernels. A reproducer can be found in the kernel's selftest directory for networking by running ./psock_tpacket. The problem is that an order=2 compound page (allocated by alloc_one_pg_vec_page() is part of the munlocked VM_MIXEDMAP vma (mapped by packet_mmap()) and mistaken for a THP page and assumed to be order=9. The checks for THP in munlock came with commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages"), i.e. since 3.9, but did not trigger a bug. It just makes munlock_vma_pages_range() skip such compound pages until the next 512-pages-aligned page, when it encounters a head page. This is however not a problem for vma's where mlocking has no effect anyway, but it can distort the accounting. Since commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") this can trigger a VM_BUG_ON in PageTransHuge() check. This patch fixes the issue by adding VM_MIXEDMAP flag to VM_SPECIAL, a list of flags that make vma's non-mlockable and non-mergeable. The reasoning is that VM_MIXEDMAP vma's are similar to VM_PFNMAP, which is already on the VM_SPECIAL list, and both are intended for non-LRU pages where mlocking makes no sense anyway.

mm: close PageTail race Commit bf6bddf1924e ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page). This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page pointer. This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head() implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set. This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the memory barriers are unfortunately required. Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier during init since no race is possible.

mm: mask bits from pmd in pmd_lockptr/pmd_huge_pte The pmd pointer passed to pmd_lockptr/pmd_huge_pte can point to any entry in a pmd table. With USE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS==1 the code uses virt_to_page to get a struct page for the pmd table. The virt_to_page function automatically masks the lower PAGE_SHIFT bits from the address. But if the size of a pmd table is larger than PAGE_SIZE the additional bits are not removed from the pmd address and the wrong page struct is used. Fix this by explicitely masking the offset in the pmd table from the pmd pointer. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Usually, when one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and the registers. I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.

mm: print more details for bad_page() bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page. But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad, or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL. This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.

mm, show_mem: remove SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT Commit 4b59e6c47309 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to suppress PFN walks on large memory machines. Commit c78e93630d15 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case. This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity. ARM and unicore32 still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of use. As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

mm: tail page refcounting optimization for slab and hugetlbfs This skips the _mapcount mangling for slab and hugetlbfs pages. The main trouble in doing this is to guarantee that PageSlab and PageHeadHuge remains constant for all get_page/put_page run on the tail of slab or hugetlbfs compound pages. Otherwise if they're set during get_page but not set during put_page, the _mapcount of the tail page would underflow. PageHeadHuge will remain true until the compound page is released and enters the buddy allocator so it won't risk to change even if the tail page is the last reference left on the page. PG_slab instead is cleared before the slab frees the head page with put_page, so if the tail pin is released after the slab freed the page, we would have a problem. But in the slab case the tail pin cannot be the last reference left on the page. This is because the slab code is free to reuse the compound page after a kfree/kmem_cache_free without having to check if there's any tail pin left. In turn all tail pins must be always released while the head is still pinned by the slab code and so we know PG_slab will be still set too.

mm: Move change_prot_numa outside CONFIG_ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE change_prot_numa should work even if _PAGE_NUMA != _PAGE_PROTNONE. On archs like ppc64 that don't use _PAGE_PROTNONE and also have a separate page table outside linux pagetable, we just need to make sure that when calling change_prot_numa we flush the hardware page table entry so that next page access result in a numa fault. We still need to make sure we use the numa faulting logic only when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set. This implies the migrate-on-fault (Lazy migration) via mbind will only work if CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

Revert "mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation" This reverts commit ea1e7ed33708c7a760419ff9ded0a6cb90586a50. Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree. Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me. Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything. If we really do want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo the patch fully.

This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock if we can't embed it to struct page. page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t.

We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't take mm->page_table_lock anymore. Let's reuse page->lru of table's page for that. pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful and false otherwise. Current implementation never fails, but assumption that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic allocation is required.

mm/memblock.c: introduce bottom-up allocation mode The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable memory for the kernel. ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this. In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least 16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely unhotpluggable. So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image. The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up. And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we will limit the start address above the kernel.

powerpc: Prepare to support kernel handling of IOMMU map/unmap The current VFIO-on-POWER implementation supports only user mode driven mapping, i.e. QEMU is sending requests to map/unmap pages. However this approach is really slow, so we want to move that to KVM. Since H_PUT_TCE can be extremely performance sensitive (especially with network adapters where each packet needs to be mapped/unmapped) we chose to implement that as a "fast" hypercall directly in "real mode" (processor still in the guest context but MMU off). To be able to do that, we need to provide some facilities to access the struct page count within that real mode environment as things like the sparsemem vmemmap mappings aren't accessible. This adds an API function realmode_pfn_to_page() to get page struct when MMU is off. This adds to MM a new function put_page_unless_one() which drops a page if counter is bigger than 1. It is going to be used when MMU is off (for example, real mode on PPC64) and we want to make sure that page release will not happen in real mode as it may crash the kernel in a horrible way. CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and CONFIG_FLATMEM are supported.

sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faults While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary. Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share" pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement. This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling decisions based on the grouping information.

sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faults Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge page boundary. To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also, no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure. To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking" to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons. First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as private faults can result in lower performance overall. The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision. The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

This entails repeated full page table translations and page table lock taken for each page separately. This patch avoids the costly follow_page_mask() where possible, by iterating over ptes within single pmd under single page table lock. The first pte is obtained by get_locked_pte() for non-THP page acquired by the initial follow_page_mask(). The rest of the on-stack pagevec for munlock is filled up using pte_walk as long as pte_present() and vm_normal_page() are sufficient to obtain the struct page. After this patch, a 14% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory area with THP disabled.

mm: track vma changes with VM_SOFTDIRTY bit Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap, loosing soft dirty bit of course. So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When new vma area created (or old expanded) we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing soft dirty bit. Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if vma area is renewed.

mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve Add user_reserve_kbytes knob. Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB) I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ... then adding the RSS of each. This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode. Background 1. user reserve __vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

sparse-vmemmap: specify vmemmap population range in bytes The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap, specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages. This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always translates it to bytes first. In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for the vmemmap. For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages() on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind. But these are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit is too coarse. Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse code, then pass byte ranges down the stack.

mm: introduce free_highmem_page() helper to free highmem pages into buddy system The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the second part, which applies to the previous part at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2 It introduces a helper function free_highmem_page() to free highmem pages into the buddy system when initializing mm subsystem. Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages.

mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1. It introduces following common helper functions to simplify free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures: adjust_managed_page_count(): will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages, zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page. __free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting page statistics info free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page statistics info mark_page_reserved(): mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info free_reserved_area(): free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page() free_initmem_default(): default method to free __init pages. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed!

This patch: Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated code.

mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.

vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

Revert "mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to better deal with racy userspace programs" This reverts commit 186930500985 ("mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to better deal with racy userspace programs"). VM_POPULATE only has any effect when userspace plays racy games with vmas by trying to unmap and remap memory regions that mmap or mlock are operating on. Also, the only effect of VM_POPULATE when userspace plays such games is that it avoids populating new memory regions that get remapped into the address range that was being operated on by the original mmap or mlock calls. Let's remove VM_POPULATE as there isn't any strong argument to mandate a new vm_flag.

The above commit combined several arch-specific vma flags into one, and in the process it changed the VM_GROWSUP definition to depend on specific architectures rather than CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP.

Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy. and make fall back path working. 2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat. a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64. b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++) set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE) still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat. it should be moved before that.... c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved early before override from INITRD is settled. 3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title, but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should be routed via tip/x86/mm. 4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram: a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed? b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable... c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G anymore. d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore. e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is not good. If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that node. We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not be fixed. So just remove that offending commit and related ones including: f7210e6c4ac7 ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().") 01a178a94e8e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT") 27168d38fa20 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to the end of node") e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready") fb06bc8e5f42 ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map") 42f47e27e761 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority") 6981ec31146c ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep movable limit for nodes") 34b71f1e04fc ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter") 4d59a75125d5 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node") Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

mm,ksm: FOLL_MIGRATION do migration_entry_wait In "ksm: remove old stable nodes more thoroughly" I said that I'd never seen its WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page)). True at the time of writing, but it soon appeared once I tried fuller tests on the whole series. It turned out to be due to the KSM page migration itself: unmerge_and_ remove_all_rmap_items() failed to locate and replace all the KSM pages, because of that hiatus in page migration when old pte has been replaced by migration entry, but not yet by new pte. follow_page() finds no page at that instant, but a KSM page reappears shortly after, without a fault. Add FOLL_MIGRATION flag, so follow_page() can do migration_entry_wait() for KSM's break_cow(). I'd have preferred to avoid another flag, and do it every time, in case someone else makes the same easy mistake; but did not find another transgressor (the common get_user_pages() is of course safe), and cannot be sure that every follow_page() caller is prepared to sleep - ia64's xencomm_vtop()? Now, THP's wait_split_huge_page() can already sleep there, since anon_vma locking was changed to mutex, but maybe that's somehow excluded.

mm: accelerate mm_populate() treatment of THP pages This change adds a follow_page_mask function which is equivalent to follow_page, but with an extra page_mask argument. follow_page_mask sets *page_mask to HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1 when it encounters a THP page, and to 0 in other cases. __get_user_pages() makes use of this in order to accelerate populating THP ranges - that is, when both the pages and vmas arrays are NULL, we don't need to iterate HPAGE_PMD_NR times to cover a single THP page (and we also avoid taking mm->page_table_lock that many times).

mm: rename page struct field helpers The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset().

mm: uninline page_xchg_last_nid() Andrew Morton pointed out that page_xchg_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were "getting nuttily large" and asked that it be investigated. reset_page_last_nid() is on the page free path and it would be unfortunate to make that path more expensive than it needs to be. Due to the internal use of page_xchg_last_nid() it is already too expensive but fortunately, it should also be impossible for the page->flags to be updated in parallel when we call reset_page_last_nid(). Instead of unlining the function, it uses a simplier implementation that assumes no parallel updates and should now be sufficiently short for inlining. page_xchg_last_nid() is called in paths that are already quite expensive (splitting huge page, fault handling, migration) and it is reasonable to uninline. There was not really a good place to place the function but mm/mmzone.c was the closest fit IMO. This patch saved 128 bytes of text in the vmlinux file for the kernel configuration I used for testing automatic NUMA balancing.

acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical memory address in kernel commandline. /* * For movablemem_map=acpi: * * SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ...... * node id: 0 1 1 2 * hotpluggable: n y y n * movablemem_map: |_____| |_________| * * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time. */ So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable. Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use. NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use it.

memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem, memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by get_page_bootmem(). So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and registers the pages by get_page_bootmem(). NOTE: register_page_bootmem_memmap() is not implemented for ia64, ppc, s390, and sparc. So introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform doesn't support it. It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on x86_64). Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately, and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to better deal with racy userspace programs The vm_populate() code populates user mappings without constantly holding the mmap_sem. This makes it susceptible to racy userspace programs: the user mappings may change while vm_populate() is running, and in this case vm_populate() may end up populating the new mapping instead of the old one. In order to reduce the possibility of userspace getting surprised by this behavior, this change introduces the VM_POPULATE vma flag which gets set on vmas we want vm_populate() to work on. This way vm_populate() may still end up populating the new mapping after such a race, but only if the new mapping is also one that the user has requested (using MAP_SHARED, MAP_LOCKED or mlock) to be populated.

So, we can call directly into __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and remove the last make_pages_present() call site. Note that we don't use mm_populate() here, so we can't release the mmap_sem while allocating new stack pages. This is deemed acceptable, because the stack vmas grow by a bounded number of pages at a time, and these are anon pages so we don't have to read from disk to populate them.

This may take a while as we may have to read pages from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked mmap_sem region. This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.

mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested.

mm: mempolicy: Implement change_prot_numa() in terms of change_protection() This patch converts change_prot_numa() to use change_protection(). As pte_numa and friends check the PTE bits directly it is necessary for change_protection() to use pmd_mknuma(). Hence the required modifications to change_protection() are a little clumsy but the end result is that most of the numa page table helpers are just one or two instructions.

mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_MF_LAZY NOTE: Once again there is a lot of patch stealing and the end result is sufficiently different that I had to drop the signed-offs. Will re-add if the original authors are ok with that. This patch adds another mbind() flag to request "lazy migration". The flag, MPOL_MF_LAZY, modifies MPOL_MF_MOVE* such that the selected pages are marked PROT_NONE. The pages will be migrated in the fault path on "first touch", if the policy dictates at that time. "Lazy Migration" will allow testing of migrate-on-fault via mbind(). Also allows applications to specify that only subsequently touched pages be migrated to obey new policy, instead of all pages in range. This can be useful for multi-threaded applications working on a large shared data area that is initialized by an initial thread resulting in all pages on one [or a few, if overflowed] nodes. After PROT_NONE, the pages in regions assigned to the worker threads will be automatically migrated local to the threads on 1st touch.

mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from gup/gup_fast Introduce FOLL_NUMA to tell follow_page to check pte/pmd_numa. get_user_pages must use FOLL_NUMA, and it's safe to do so because it always invokes handle_mm_fault and retries the follow_page later. KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page -> handle_mm_fault. Other follow_page callers like KSM should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they would fail to get the pages if they use follow_page instead of get_user_pages.

revert "mm: fix-up zone present pages" Revert commit 7f1290f2f2a4 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero. Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

mm: fix-up zone present pages I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management, it should be: zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages, but is now: zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages. spanned pages: total size, including holes. absent pages: holes. bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator. memmap pages: pages used by page structs. This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be. For example, numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()). [root@localhost ~]# dmesg -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory I think the bug described in http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2 is also caused by wrong zone present pages.

In the second try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access. Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

mm: avoid taking rmap locks in move_ptes() During mremap(), the destination VMA is generally placed after the original vma in rmap traversal order: in move_vma(), we always have new_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff, and as a result new_vma->vm_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff unless vma_merge() merged the new vma with an adjacent one. When the destination VMA is placed after the original in rmap traversal order, we can avoid taking the rmap locks in move_ptes(). Essentially, this reintroduces the optimization that had been disabled in "mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail". The difference is that we don't try to impose the rmap traversal order; instead we just rely on things being in the desired order in the common case and fall back to taking locks in the uncommon case. Also we skip the i_mmap_mutex in addition to the anon_vma lock: in both cases, the vmas are traversed in increasing vm_pgoff order with ties resolved in tree insertion order.

mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mm: interval tree updates Update the generic interval tree code that was introduced in "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree". Changes: - fixed 'endpoing' typo noticed by Andrew Morton - replaced include/linux/interval_tree_tmpl.h, which was used as a template (including it automatically defined the interval tree functions) with include/linux/interval_tree_generic.h, which only defines a preprocessor macro INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE(), which itself defines the interval tree functions when invoked. Now that is a very long macro which is unfortunate, but it does make the usage sites (lib/interval_tree.c and mm/interval_tree.c) a bit nicer than previously. - make use of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() in the INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE() macro, instead of duplicating that code in the interval tree template. - replaced vma_interval_tree_add(), which was actually handling the nonlinear and interval tree cases, with vma_interval_tree_insert_after() which handles only the interval tree case and has an API that is more consistent with the other interval tree handling functions. The nonlinear case is now handled explicitly in kernel/fork.c dup_mmap().

mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA.

This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem. exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm, which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive. Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput(). mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn ptes, special ptes and normal ptes. Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not expects page-faults. This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page(). BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover do_wp_page() can handle this. vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault handler.

But doing it here means that the process doesn't get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This would prevent application level recovery from the fault.

This simplifies the interfaces (no need to pass down that silly page counter to functions that really don't care), and also makes it much more obvious what is actually going on: we do vm_[un]acct_memory() when adding or removing the vma, not on random page walking.

VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range() Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers). This is not really a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas. Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range(). Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range: POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify, difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is attempting to implement it.

coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit for 'VM_NODUMP' flag. The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag: MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request memory regions which should not dump core. The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core. This flag might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely make sure that parts of memory are not dumped. To clear the flag use: MADV_DODUMP.

coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

mm, counters: remove task argument to sync_mm_rss() and __sync_task_rss_stat() sync_mm_rss() can only be used for current to avoid race conditions in iterating and clearing its per-task counters. Remove the task argument for it and its helper function, __sync_task_rss_stat(), to avoid thinking it can be used safely for anything other than current.

procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via sys_clone. This memory is currently seen as anonymous in /proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings are being used for thread stacks. This patch uses the individual task stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks. For a multithreaded program like the following: #include <pthread.h> void *thread_main(void *foo) { while(1); } int main() { pthread_t t; pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL); pthread_join(t, NULL); } proc/PID/maps looks like the following: 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 00600000-00601000 rw-p 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 019ef000-01a10000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7f8a44491000-7f8a44492000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44c92000-7f8a44e3d000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000 ---p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a4503d000-7f8a45041000 r--p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45041000-7f8a45043000 rw-p 001af000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45043000-7f8a45048000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45048000-7f8a4505f000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4505f000-7f8a4525e000 ---p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525e000-7f8a4525f000 r--p 00016000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525f000-7f8a45260000 rw-p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a45260000-7f8a45264000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45264000-7f8a45286000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45457000-7f8a4545a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45484000-7f8a45485000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45485000-7f8a45486000 r--p 00021000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45486000-7f8a45487000 rw-p 00022000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45487000-7f8a45488000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff6273b000-7fff6275c000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7fff627ff000-7fff62800000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall] Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same content. With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view, where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process stack is marked as [stack].

BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is "vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one. For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/ | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80403000-7f8f80404000 -> /lib64/libc-2.5.so | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f8061e000-7f8f80620000 -> /lib64/libselinux.so.1 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80826000-7f8f80827000 -> /lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a2f000-7f8f80a30000 -> /lib64/librt-2.5.so | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a30000-7f8f80a4c000 -> /lib64/ld-2.5.so This *helps* checkpointing process in three ways: 1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/$pid/map_files/$address symlink the way we do with file descriptors. 2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them. 3. When restoring a set of processes in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/$pid/map_files/$address file and map it by the 2nd task. Using /proc/$pid/maps for this is quite inconvenient since it brings repeatable re-reading and reparsing for this text file which slows down restore procedure significantly. Also as being pointed in (3) it is a way easier to use top level shared mapping in children as /proc/$pid/map_files/$address when needed.

mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data. This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the probability of catching corruption.

memblock: Kill early_node_map[] Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP - there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also, relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation. This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice. -v2: Fix compile bug introduced by mis-spelling CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_HAVE_NODE_MAP in mmzone.h.

mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn) wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount(). He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero(). So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply account the tail page references there and transfer them to tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the head_page->_mapcount). While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for pmd_trans_huge). The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation and usually only run in I/O paths. This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to work without any further complexity associated to the tail page refcounting with THP.

HWPoison: add memory_failure_queue() memory_failure() is the entry point for HWPoison memory error recovery. It must be called in process context. But commonly hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed execution mechanism must be used. In MCE handler, a work queue + ring buffer mechanism is used. In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors too. To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar to that of MCE is implemented. memory_failure_queue() is the new entry point that can be called in IRQ context. The next step is to make MCE handler uses this interface too.

mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & young I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE, you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell. It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.

superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructure With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.

x86, numa: Implement pfn -> nid mapping granularity check SPARSEMEM w/o VMEMMAP and DISCONTIGMEM, both used only on 32bit, use sections array to map pfn to nid which is limited in granularity. If NUMA nodes are laid out such that the mapping cannot be accurate, boot will fail triggering BUG_ON() in mminit_verify_page_links(). On 32bit, it's 512MiB w/ PAE and SPARSEMEM.

mm: extract exe_file handling from procfs Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c.

mm: delete non-atomic mm counter implementation The problem with having two different types of counters is that developers adding new code need to keep in mind whether it's safe to use both the atomic and non-atomic implementations. For example, when adding new callers of the *_mm_counter() functions a developer needs to ensure that those paths are always executed with page_table_lock held, in case we're using the non-atomic implementation of mm counters. Hugh Dickins introduced the atomic mm counters in commit f412ac08c986 ("[PATCH] mm: fix rss and mmlist locking"). When asked why he left the non-atomic counters around he said, | The only reason was to avoid adding costly atomic operations into a | configuration that had no need for them there: the page_table_lock | sufficed. | | Certainly it would be simpler just to delete the non-atomic variant. | | And I think it's fair to say that any configuration on which we're | measuring performance to that degree (rather than "does it boot fast?" | type measurements), would already be going the split ptlocks route. Removing the non-atomic counters eases the maintenance burden because developers no longer have to mindful of the two implementations when using *_mm_counter(). Note that all architectures provide a means of atomically updating atomic_long_t variables, even if they have to revert to the generic spinlock implementation because they don't support 64-bit atomic instructions (see lib/atomic64.c).

mm: break out page allocation warning code This originally started as a simple patch to give vmalloc() some more verbose output on failure on top of the plain page allocator messages. Johannes suggested that it might be nicer to lead with the vmalloc() info _before_ the page allocator messages. But, I do think there's a lot of value in what __alloc_pages_slowpath() does with its filtering and so forth. This patch creates a new function which other allocators can call instead of relying on the internal page allocator warnings. It also gives this function private rate-limiting which separates it from other printk_ratelimit() users.

mm: mmu_gather rework Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards() Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.

x86,mm: make pagefault killable When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the following two points. 1) __alloc_pages_nodemask 2) __lock_page_or_retry 1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation failure and getting out from page allocator. 2) is more problematic. In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO performance. When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly, meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the oom-killer killing it. Then, the system may become livelocked.

This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

mm: thp: fix /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE and vm_flags cleanups The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null (which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file). So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set). After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid. The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the generic implementation.

pagewalk: only split huge pages when necessary Right now, if a mm_walk has either ->pte_entry or ->pmd_entry set, it will unconditionally split any transparent huge pages it runs in to. In practice, that means that anyone doing a cat /proc/$pid/smaps will unconditionally break down every huge page in the process and depend on khugepaged to re-collapse it later. This is fairly suboptimal. This patch changes that behavior. It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler (there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves. Also, the _generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is actually set. This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs without breaking them down.

mm: allow GUP to fail instead of waiting on a page GUP user may want to try to acquire a reference to a page if it is already in memory, but not if IO, to bring it in, is needed. For example KVM may tell vcpu to schedule another guest process if current one is trying to access swapped out page. Meanwhile, the page will be swapped in and the guest process, that depends on it, will be able to run again. This patch adds FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT (suggested by Linus) and FOLL_NOWAIT follow_page flags. FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT, when used in conjunction with VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY, indicates to handle_mm_fault that it shouldn't drop mmap_sem and wait on a page, but return VM_FAULT_RETRY instead.

oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8. This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it. This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface. Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus) lines from the oom killer output. Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed nodes.

thp: transparent hugepage core Lately I've been working to make KVM use hugepages transparently without the usual restrictions of hugetlbfs. Some of the restrictions I'd like to see removed: 1) hugepages have to be swappable or the guest physical memory remains locked in RAM and can't be paged out to swap 2) if a hugepage allocation fails, regular pages should be allocated instead and mixed in the same vma without any failure and without userland noticing 3) if some task quits and more hugepages become available in the buddy, guest physical memory backed by regular pages should be relocated on hugepages automatically in regions under madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) (ideally event driven by waking up the kernel deamon if the order=HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT list becomes not null) 4) avoidance of reservation and maximization of use of hugepages whenever possible. Reservation (needed to avoid runtime fatal faliures) may be ok for 1 machine with 1 database with 1 database cache with 1 database cache size known at boot time. It's definitely not feasible with a virtualization hypervisor usage like RHEV-H that runs an unknown number of virtual machines with an unknown size of each virtual machine with an unknown amount of pagecache that could be potentially useful in the host for guest not using O_DIRECT (aka cache=off). hugepages in the virtualization hypervisor (and also in the guest!) are much more important than in a regular host not using virtualization, becasue with NPT/EPT they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 24 to 19 in case only the hypervisor uses transparent hugepages, and they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 19 to 15 in case both the linux hypervisor and the linux guest both uses this patch (though the guest will limit the addition speedup to anonymous regions only for now...). Even more important is that the tlb miss handler is much slower on a NPT/EPT guest than for a regular shadow paging or no-virtualization scenario. So maximizing the amount of virtual memory cached by the TLB pays off significantly more with NPT/EPT than without (even if there would be no significant speedup in the tlb-miss runtime). The first (and more tedious) part of this work requires allowing the VM to handle anonymous hugepages mixed with regular pages transparently on regular anonymous vmas. This is what this patch tries to achieve in the least intrusive possible way. We want hugepages and hugetlb to be used in a way so that all applications can benefit without changes (as usual we leverage the KVM virtualization design: by improving the Linux VM at large, KVM gets the performance boost too). The most important design choice is: always fallback to 4k allocation if the hugepage allocation fails! This is the _very_ opposite of some large pagecache patches that failed with -EIO back then if a 64k (or similar) allocation failed... Second important decision (to reduce the impact of the feature on the existing pagetable handling code) is that at any time we can split an hugepage into 512 regular pages and it has to be done with an operation that can't fail. This way the reliability of the swapping isn't decreased (no need to allocate memory when we are short on memory to swap) and it's trivial to plug a split_huge_page* one-liner where needed without polluting the VM. Over time we can teach mprotect, mremap and friends to handle pmd_trans_huge natively without calling split_huge_page*. The fact it can't fail isn't just for swap: if split_huge_page would return -ENOMEM (instead of the current void) we'd need to rollback the mprotect from the middle of it (ideally including undoing the split_vma) which would be a big change and in the very wrong direction (it'd likely be simpler not to call split_huge_page at all and to teach mprotect and friends to handle hugepages instead of rolling them back from the middle). In short the very value of split_huge_page is that it can't fail. The collapsing and madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) part will remain separated and incremental and it'll just be an "harmless" addition later if this initial part is agreed upon. It also should be noted that locking-wise replacing regular pages with hugepages is going to be very easy if compared to what I'm doing below in split_huge_page, as it will only happen when page_count(page) matches page_mapcount(page) if we can take the PG_lock and mmap_sem in write mode. collapse_huge_page will be a "best effort" that (unlike split_huge_page) can fail at the minimal sign of trouble and we can try again later. collapse_huge_page will be similar to how KSM works and the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) will work similar to madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE). The default I like is that transparent hugepages are used at page fault time. This can be changed with /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled. The control knob can be set to three values "always", "madvise", "never" which mean respectively that hugepages are always used, or only inside madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) regions, or never used. /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag instead controls if the hugepage allocation should defrag memory aggressively "always", only inside "madvise" regions, or "never". The pmd_trans_splitting/pmd_trans_huge locking is very solid. The put_page (from get_user_page users that can't use mmu notifier like O_DIRECT) that runs against a __split_huge_page_refcount instead was a pain to serialize in a way that would result always in a coherent page count for both tail and head. I think my locking solution with a compound_lock taken only after the page_first is valid and is still a PageHead should be safe but it surely needs review from SMP race point of view. In short there is no current existing way to serialize the O_DIRECT final put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so I had to invent a new one (O_DIRECT loses knowledge on the mapping status by the time gup_fast returns so...). And I didn't want to impact all gup/gup_fast users for now, maybe if we change the gup interface substantially we can avoid this locking, I admit I didn't think too much about it because changing the gup unpinning interface would be invasive. If we ignored O_DIRECT we could stick to the existing compound refcounting code, by simply adding a get_user_pages_fast_flags(foll_flags) where KVM (and any other mmu notifier user) would call it without FOLL_GET (and if FOLL_GET isn't set we'd just BUG_ON if nobody registered itself in the current task mmu notifier list yet). But O_DIRECT is fundamental for decent performance of virtualized I/O on fast storage so we can't avoid it to solve the race of put_page against split_huge_page_refcount to achieve a complete hugepage feature for KVM. Swap and oom works fine (well just like with regular pages ;). MMU notifier is handled transparently too, with the exception of the young bit on the pmd, that didn't have a range check but I think KVM will be fine because the whole point of hugepages is that EPT/NPT will also use a huge pmd when they notice gup returns pages with PageCompound set, so they won't care of a range and there's just the pmd young bit to check in that case. NOTE: in some cases if the L2 cache is small, this may slowdown and waste memory during COWs because 4M of memory are accessed in a single fault instead of 8k (the payoff is that after COW the program can run faster). So we might want to switch the copy_huge_page (and clear_huge_page too) to not temporal stores. I also extensively researched ways to avoid this cache trashing with a full prefault logic that would cow in 8k/16k/32k/64k up to 1M (I can send those patches that fully implemented prefault) but I concluded they're not worth it and they add an huge additional complexity and they remove all tlb benefits until the full hugepage has been faulted in, to save a little bit of memory and some cache during app startup, but they still don't improve substantially the cache-trashing during startup if the prefault happens in >4k chunks. One reason is that those 4k pte entries copied are still mapped on a perfectly cache-colored hugepage, so the trashing is the worst one can generate in those copies (cow of 4k page copies aren't so well colored so they trashes less, but again this results in software running faster after the page fault). Those prefault patches allowed things like a pte where post-cow pages were local 4k regular anon pages and the not-yet-cowed pte entries were pointing in the middle of some hugepage mapped read-only. If it doesn't payoff substantially with todays hardware it will payoff even less in the future with larger l2 caches, and the prefault logic would blot the VM a lot. If one is emebdded transparent_hugepage can be disabled during boot with sysfs or with the boot commandline parameter transparent_hugepage=0 (or transparent_hugepage=2 to restrict hugepages inside madvise regions) that will ensure not a single hugepage is allocated at boot time. It is simple enough to just disable transparent hugepage globally and let transparent hugepages be allocated selectively by applications in the MADV_HUGEPAGE region (both at page fault time, and if enabled with the collapse_huge_page too through the kernel daemon). This patch supports only hugepages mapped in the pmd, archs that have smaller hugepages will not fit in this patch alone. Also some archs like power have certain tlb limits that prevents mixing different page size in the same regions so they will not fit in this framework that requires "graceful fallback" to basic PAGE_SIZE in case of physical memory fragmentation. hugetlbfs remains a perfect fit for those because its software limits happen to match the hardware limits. hugetlbfs also remains a perfect fit for hugepage sizes like 1GByte that cannot be hoped to be found not fragmented after a certain system uptime and that would be very expensive to defragment with relocation, so requiring reservation. hugetlbfs is the "reservation way", the point of transparent hugepages is not to have any reservation at all and maximizing the use of cache and hugepages at all times automatically.

This allows __mlock_vma_pages_range() to not have to break down work into 16-page batches. An additional motivation for doing this within the present patch series is that it'll make it easier for a later chagne to drop mmap_sem when blocking on disk (we'd like to be able to resume at the page that was read from disk instead of at the start of a 16-page batch).

mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs. It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer. In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault. It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time. Tests: - microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s before, 15000 iterations/s after. - We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show significant performance regressions when running without this change.

mm: add account_page_writeback() To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat. # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat nr_dirtied 3747 # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat nr_written 3618 These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for nr_dirty/nr_writeback. These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour. We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour, but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance problems. Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to /proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases and file servers and are not debugging the kernel. The output is as below: # grep threshold /proc/vmstat nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223 This patch: This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get bugs. Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

Encode huge page size for VM_FAULT_HWPOISON errors This fixes a problem introduced with the hugetlb hwpoison handling The user space SIGBUS signalling wants to know the size of the hugepage that caused a HWPOISON fault. Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy access to the struct page. Pass the information out in the fault error code instead. I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize changes. Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift. Will be used in a further patch.

check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok to make this obvious. As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway. Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

KVM: Avoid killing userspace through guest SRAO MCE on unmapped pages In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay the MCE to guest OS. But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will be killed. The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped, guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace is killed by force_sig_info. To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned page.

mm: compaction: memory compaction core This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone. A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner. Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone. The migration scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called migratelist. The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them available for the migration scanner. The pages isolated for migration are then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.

mm: migration: avoid race between shift_arg_pages() and rmap_walk() during migration by not migrating temporary stacks Page migration requires rmap to be able to find all ptes mapping a page at all times, otherwise the migration entry can be instantiated, but it is possible to leave one behind if the second rmap_walk fails to find the page. If this page is later faulted, migration_entry_to_page() will call BUG because the page is locked indicating the page was migrated by the migration PTE not cleaned up. For example kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ...

A temporary stack is setup during exec and later moved. If migration moves a page in the temporary stack and the VMA is then removed before migration completes, the migration PTE may not be found leading to a BUG when the stack is faulted. This patch causes pages within the temporary stack during exec to be skipped by migration. It does this by marking the VMA covering the temporary stack with an otherwise impossible combination of VMA flags. These flags are cleared when the temporary stack is moved to its final location.

mm: remove VM_LOCK_RMAP code When a VMA is in an inconsistent state during setup or teardown, the worst that can happen is that the rmap code will not be able to find the page. The mapping is in the process of being torn down (PTEs just got invalidated by munmap), or set up (no PTEs have been instantiated yet). It is also impossible for the rmap code to follow a pointer to an already freed VMA, because the rmap code holds the anon_vma->lock, which the VMA teardown code needs to take before the VMA is removed from the anon_vma chain. Hence, we should not need the VM_LOCK_RMAP locking at all.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: avoid false sharing of mm_counter Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path. This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at events. Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault. Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls. rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows [before] 4.5 cache-miss/faults [after] 4.0 cache-miss/faults Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problems Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

this_cpu: Page allocator conversion Use the per cpu allocator functionality to avoid per cpu arrays in struct zone. This drastically reduces the size of struct zone for systems with large amounts of processors and allows placement of critical variables of struct zone in one cacheline even on very large systems. Another effect is that the pagesets of one processor are placed near one another. If multiple pagesets from different zones fit into one cacheline then additional cacheline fetches can be avoided on the hot paths when allocating memory from multiple zones. Bootstrap becomes simpler if we use the same scheme for UP, SMP, NUMA. #ifdefs are reduced and we can drop the zone_pcp macro. Hotplug handling is also simplified since cpu alloc can bring up and shut down cpu areas for a specific cpu as a whole. So there is no need to allocate or free individual pagesets. V7-V8: - Explain chicken egg dilemmna with percpu allocator. V4-V5: - Fix up cases where per_cpu_ptr is called before irq disable - Integrate the bootstrap logic that was separate before. tj: Build failure in pageset_cpuup_callback() due to missing ret variable fixed.

HWPOISON: Add soft page offline support This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

mm: define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS At present we define PageAnon(page) by the low PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit set in page->mapping, with the higher bits a pointer to the anon_vma; and have defined PageKsm(page) as that with NULL anon_vma. But KSM swapping will need to store a pointer there: so in preparation for that, now define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS as the low two bits, including PAGE_MAPPING_KSM (always set along with PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, until some other use for the bit emerges). Declare page_rmapping(page) to return the pointer part of page->mapping, and page_anon_vma(page) to return the anon_vma pointer when that's what it is. Use these in a few appropriate places: notably, unuse_vma() has been testing page->mapping, but is better to be testing page_anon_vma() (cases may be added in which flag bits are set without any pointer).

tmpfs: depend on shmem CONFIG_SHMEM off gives you (ramfs masquerading as) tmpfs, even when CONFIG_TMPFS is off: that's a little anomalous, and I'd intended to make more sense of it by removing CONFIG_TMPFS altogether, always enabling its code when CONFIG_SHMEM; but so many defconfigs have CONFIG_SHMEM on CONFIG_TMPFS off that we'd better leave that as is. But there is no point in asking for CONFIG_TMPFS if CONFIG_SHMEM is off: make TMPFS depend on SHMEM, which also prevents TMPFS_POSIX_ACL shmem_acl.o being pointlessly built into the kernel when SHMEM is off. And a selfish change, to prevent the world from being rebuilt when I switch between CONFIG_SHMEM on and off: the only CONFIG_SHMEM in the header files is mm.h shmem_lock() - give that a shmem.c stub instead.

mm: FOLL flags for GUP flags __get_user_pages() has been taking its own GUP flags, then processing them into FOLL flags for follow_page(). Though oddly named, the FOLL flags are more widely used, so pass them to __get_user_pages() now. Sorry, VM flags, VM_FAULT flags and FAULT_FLAGs are still distinct. (The patch to __get_user_pages() looks peculiar, with both gup_flags and foll_flags: the gup_flags remain constant; but as before there's an exceptional case, out of scope of the patch, in which foll_flags per page have FOLL_WRITE masked off.)

mm: FOLL_DUMP replace FOLL_ANON The "FOLL_ANON optimization" and its use_zero_page() test have caused confusion and bugs: why does it test VM_SHARED? for the very good but unsatisfying reason that VMware crashed without. As we look to maybe reinstating anonymous use of the ZERO_PAGE, we need to sort this out. Easily done: it's silly for __get_user_pages() and follow_page() to be guessing whether it's safe to assume that they're being used for a coredump (which can take a shortcut snapshot where other uses must handle a fault) - just tell them with GUP_FLAGS_DUMP and FOLL_DUMP. get_dump_page() doesn't even want a ZERO_PAGE: an error suits fine.

ksm: the mm interface to ksm This patch presents the mm interface to a dummy version of ksm.c, for better scrutiny of that interface: the real ksm.c follows later. When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than pretending that they can be serviced. But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not touch (e.g. hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings). Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory. Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it. Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting. Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.

HWPOISON: The high level memory error handler in the VM v7 Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone from accessing these pages in the future. This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page it is. The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c To quote the overview comment: High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache failure. This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background. When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead when that happens another machine check will happen. Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere, possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the error handling takes potentially a long time. Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected to be rare we hope we can get away with this. There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison: - just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before killing - kill as soon as corruption is detected. Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill The default is early kill. The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways Includes contributions from Johannes Weiner, Chris Mason, Fengguang Wu, Nick Piggin (who did a lot of great work) and others.

The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR. This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to map some area of low memory.

page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.

readahead: record mmap read-around states in file_ra_state Mmap read-around now shares the same code style and data structure with readahead code. This also removes do_page_cache_readahead(). Its last user, mmap read-around, has been changed to call ra_submit(). The no-readahead-if-congested logic is dumped by the way. Users will be pretty sensitive about the slow loading of executables.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead. This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid() What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages() is triggering: BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page)); Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations: if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) { printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: " "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n", start_page, end_page, zone); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n", page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n", page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n", page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page)); ... And here's what I got: move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00] move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00] move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff] move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0] My memory layout on this box is: [ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges: [ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d [ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node [ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges [ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers the problem. This patch: Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.

Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

By definition if we have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is freed, then reallocated as a compound page). It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.

NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3 Impact: Code transformation, new functions added should have no effect. Drivers use mmap followed by pgprot_* and remap_pfn_range or vm_insert_pfn, in order to export reserved memory to userspace. Currently, such mappings are not tracked and hence not kept consistent with other mappings (/dev/mem, pci resource, ioremap) for the sme memory, that may exist in the system. The following patchset adds x86 PAT attribute tracking and untracking for pfnmap related APIs. First three patches in the patchset are changing the generic mm code to fit in this tracking. Last four patches are x86 specific to make things work with x86 PAT code. The patchset aso introduces pgprot_writecombine interface, which gives writecombine mapping when enabled, falling back to pgprot_noncached otherwise. This patch: While working on x86 PAT, we faced some hurdles with trackking remap_pfn_range() regions, as we do not have any information to say whether that PFNMAP mapping is linear for the entire vma range or it is smaller granularity regions within the vma. A simple solution to this is to use vm_pgoff as an indicator for linear mapping over the vma region. Currently, remap_pfn_range only sets vm_pgoff for COW mappings. Below patch changes the logic and sets the vm_pgoff irrespective of COW. This will still not be enough for the case where pfn is zero (vma region mapped to physical address zero). But, for all the other cases, we can look at pfnmap VMAs and say whether the mappng is for the entire vma region or not.

mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

SHM_LOCKED pages are unevictable Shmem segments locked into memory via shmctl(SHM_LOCKED) should not be kept on the normal LRU, since scanning them is a waste of time and might throw off kswapd's balancing algorithms. Place them on the unevictable LRU list instead. Use the AS_UNEVICTABLE flag to mark address_space of SHM_LOCKed shared memory regions as unevictable. Then these pages will be culled off the normal LRU lists during vmscan. Add new wrapper function to clear the mapping's unevictable state when/if shared memory segment is munlocked. Add 'scan_mapping_unevictable_page()' to mm/vmscan.c to scan all pages in the shmem segment's mapping [struct address_space] for evictability now that they're no longer locked. If so, move them to the appropriate zone lru list. Changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

mmu-notifiers: add mm_take_all_locks() operation mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that no mmu operation is in progress on the mm. This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate, try_to_unmap, and all page faults. The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem until mm_drop_all_locks() returns. mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing vmas. A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it would deadlock. mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that may have to take thousand of locks. mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals. When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further mmu_notifier notification.

mm: introduce get_user_pages_fast Introduce a new get_user_pages_fast mm API, which is basically a get_user_pages with a less general API (but still tends to be suited to the common case): - task and mm are always current and current->mm - force is always 0 - pages is always non-NULL - don't pass back vmas This restricted API can be implemented in a much more scalable way on many architectures when the ptes are present, by walking the page tables locklessly (no mmap_sem or page table locks). When the ptes are not populated, get_user_pages_fast() could be slower. This is implemented locklessly on x86, and used in some key direct IO call sites, in later patches, which provides nearly 10% performance improvement on a threaded database workload. Lots of other code could use this too, depending on use cases (eg. grep drivers/). And it might inspire some new and clever ways to use it.

PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

mm: record MAP_NORESERVE status on vmas and fix small page mprotect reservations With Mel's hugetlb private reservation support patches applied, strict overcommit semantics are applied to both shared and private huge page mappings. This can be a problem if an application relied on unlimited overcommit semantics for private mappings. An example of this would be an application which maps a huge area with the intention of using it very sparsely. These application would benefit from being able to opt-out of the strict overcommit. It should be noted that prior to hugetlb supporting demand faulting all mappings were fully populated and so applications of this type should be rare. This patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page mappings. This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings, suppressing reservations for that mapping. Thanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these patches. This patch: When a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created by default for any memory pages required. When the region is read/write the reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for read-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page). Reservations are tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region has reservation backing it. When we convert a region from read-only to read-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set. However, when a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable from a normal mapping. When we then convert that to read/write we are forced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of the original MAP_NORESERVE. This patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the presence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag. This allows us to distinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve. As well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to introduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available consistantly for the life of the mapping. VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is heavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.

Allocate the pointer table and array during init. do_boot_cpu() will reallocate the pda in node local memory and if the cpu is being brought up before the bootmem array is released (after_bootmem = 0), then it will free the initial pda. This will happen for all cpus present at system startup. This removes 512k + 32k bytes from the data section. For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

mm, x86: shrink_active_range() should check all Now we are using register_e820_active_regions() instead of add_active_range() directly. So end_pfn could be different between the value in early_node_map to node_end_pfn. So we need to make shrink_active_range() smarter. shrink_active_range() is a generic MM function in mm/page_alloc.c but it is only used on 32-bit x86. Should we move it back to some file in arch/x86?

procfs task exe symlink The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

mm: introduce pte_special pte bit s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted: vm_normal_page() { ... if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; #else if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) return NULL; #endif goto out; } ... } This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get slightly better code generation in the process): vm_normal_page() { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; return pte_page(pte); #else ... #endif } And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate. So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o. BTW: I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion. The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function -- the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions, while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

mm: introduce VM_MIXEDMAP This series introduces some important infrastructure work. The overall result is that: 1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement this for s390. This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand, in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently, guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have 100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?) For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non- volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more attractive to a lot of these guys. 2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing, which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not) comes from. 3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up "oltp" on db2 by 10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these workloads. I'm hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not meant to justify this patchset (which doesn't include lockless gup), but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it on at least x86 and powerpc as well. This patch: Introduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP. This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in that it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without struct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount (PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations are mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non refcounted ranges). VM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not refcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because it needs to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg. for /dev/mem mappings).

sparsemem: vmemmap does not need section bits A set of patches that attempts to improve page flag handling. First of all a method is introduced to generate the page flag functions using macros. Then the number of page flags used by sparsemem is reduced. All page flag operations will no longer be macros. All flags will use inline function. Then we add a way to export enum constants to the preprocessor which allows us to get rid of __ZONE_COUNT and use the NR_PAGEFLAGS for the dynamic calculation of actually available page flags for fields. This patch: Sparsemem vmemmap does not need any section bits. This patch has the effect of reducing the number of bits used in page->flags by at least 6.

nommu: Provide is_vmalloc_addr() stub. Introduced in commit-id 9e2779fa281cfda13ac060753d674bbcaa23367e and ifdef'ed out for nommu in 8ca3ed87db062201e1fa15b64a9214e193fc3a8a, both approaches end up breaking the nommu build in different ways. An impressive feat for a 2-liner. Current is_vmalloc_addr() users fall in to two camps: - Determining whether to use vfree()/kfree() - Whether to do vmlist traversal (only /proc/kcore). Since we don't support /proc/kcore on nommu, that leaves the vfree()/kfree() determination use cases. nommu vfree() happens to be a wrapper to kfree() anyways, so is_vmalloc_addr() can always return 0 and end up with the right behaviour.

CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

Move vmalloc_to_page() to mm/vmalloc. We already have page table manipulation for vmalloc in vmalloc.c. Move the vmalloc_to_page() function there as well. Move the definitions for vmalloc related functions in mm.h to a newly created section. A better place would be vmalloc.h but mm.h is basic and may depend on these functions. An alternative would be to include vmalloc.h in mm.h (like done for vmstat.h).

And printing the offset into a mapping also always allows to find the correct fault point in a library even with randomized mappings. Previously there was no way to actually find the correct code address inside the randomized mapping. Relies on earlier patch to shorten the printk formats.

Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the security checks. Since this is just a hint address this patch will round such a hint address above mmap_min_addr. gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses in the 8k-32k range. Without this patch all such programs failed and with the patch they happily get a higher address. This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what.

remove ZERO_PAGE The commit b5810039a54e5babf428e9a1e89fc1940fabff11 contains the note A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue. And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems. There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup. This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!). There are several broad ways to fix this problem: 1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE 2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES 3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit that I can see. Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be used). As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not increase much without it. When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000 ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000 page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss. Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions, we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it. The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked. I don't see much use to them except on benchmarks. All other users of ZERO_PAGE are converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are more satisfied with this solution.

Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline. This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing involving memory is required. The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become: #define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn)) #define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap) By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1 this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit platforms that support 36 address bits. However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM. FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a constant to which we can simply add the offset. This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc. [apw@shadowen.org: config cleanups, resplit code etc] [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix sparsemem_vmemmap init] [apw@shadowen.org: vmemmap: remove excess debugging] [apw@shadowen.org: simplify initialisation code and reduce duplication] [apw@shadowen.org: pull out the vmemmap code into its own file] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: "David S.

The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption that this does not happen as does the security code. As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the helper function.

readahead: on-demand readahead logic This is a minimal readahead algorithm that aims to replace the current one. It is more flexible and reliable, while maintaining almost the same behavior and performance. Also it is full integrated with adaptive readahead. It is designed to be called on demand: - on a missing page, to do synchronous readahead - on a lookahead page, to do asynchronous readahead In this way it eliminated the awkward workarounds for cache hit/miss, readahead thrashing, retried read, and unaligned read. It also adopts the data structure introduced by adaptive readahead, parameterizes readahead pipelining with `lookahead_index', and reduces the current/ahead windows to one single window. HEURISTICS The logic deals with four cases: - sequential-next found a consistent readahead window, so push it forward - random standalone small read, so read as is - sequential-first create a new readahead window for a sequential/oversize request - lookahead-clueless hit a lookahead page not associated with the readahead window, so create a new readahead window and ramp it up In each case, three parameters are determined: - readahead index: where the next readahead begins - readahead size: how much to readahead - lookahead size: when to do the next readahead (for pipelining) BEHAVIORS The old behaviors are maximally preserved for trivial sequential/random reads. Notable changes are: - It no longer imposes strict sequential checks. It might help some interleaved cases, and clustered random reads. It does introduce risks of a random lookahead hit triggering an unexpected readahead. But in general it is more likely to do good than to do evil. - Interleaved reads are supported in a minimal way. Their chances of being detected and proper handled are still low. - Readahead thrashings are better handled. The current readahead leads to tiny average I/O sizes, because it never turn back for the thrashed pages. They have to be fault in by do_generic_mapping_read() one by one. Whereas the on-demand readahead will redo readahead for them. OVERHEADS The new code reduced the overheads of - excessively calling the readahead routine on small sized reads (the current readahead code insists on seeing all requests) - doing a lot of pointless page-cache lookups for small cached files (the current readahead only turns itself off after 256 cache hits, unfortunately most files are < 1MB, so never see that chance) That accounts for speedup of - 0.3% on 1-page sequential reads on sparse file - 1.2% on 1-page cache hot sequential reads - 3.2% on 256-page cache hot sequential reads - 1.3% on cache hot `tar /lib` However, it does introduce one extra page-cache lookup per cache miss, which impacts random reads slightly. That's 1% overheads for 1-page random reads on sparse file. PERFORMANCE The basic benchmark setup is - 2.6.20 kernel with on-demand readahead - 1MB max readahead size - 2.9GHz Intel Core 2 CPU - 2GB memory - 160G/8M Hitachi SATA II 7200 RPM disk The benchmarks show that - it maintains the same performance for trivial sequential/random reads - sysbench/OLTP performance on MySQL gains up to 8% - performance on readahead thrashing gains up to 3 times iozone throughput (KB/s): roughly the same ========================================== iozone -c -t1 -s 4096m -r 64k 2.6.20 on-demand gain first run " Initial write " 61437.27 64521.53 +5.0% " Rewrite " 47893.02 48335.20 +0.9% " Read " 62111.84 62141.49 +0.0% " Re-read " 62242.66 62193.17 -0.1% " Reverse Read " 50031.46 49989.79 -0.1% " Stride read " 8657.61 8652.81 -0.1% " Random read " 13914.28 13898.23 -0.1% " Mixed workload " 19069.27 19033.32 -0.2% " Random write " 14849.80 14104.38 -5.0% " Pwrite " 62955.30 65701.57 +4.4% " Pread " 62209.99 62256.26 +0.1% second run " Initial write " 60810.31 66258.69 +9.0% " Rewrite " 49373.89 57833.66 +17.1% " Read " 62059.39 62251.28 +0.3% " Re-read " 62264.32 62256.82 -0.0% " Reverse Read " 49970.96 50565.72 +1.2% " Stride read " 8654.81 8638.45 -0.2% " Random read " 13901.44 13949.91 +0.3% " Mixed workload " 19041.32 19092.04 +0.3% " Random write " 14019.99 14161.72 +1.0% " Pwrite " 64121.67 68224.17 +6.4% " Pread " 62225.08 62274.28 +0.1% In summary, writes are unstable, reads are pretty close on average: access pattern 2.6.20 on-demand gain Read 62085.61 62196.38 +0.2% Re-read 62253.49 62224.99 -0.0% Reverse Read 50001.21 50277.75 +0.6% Stride read 8656.21 8645.63 -0.1% Random read 13907.86 13924.07 +0.1% Mixed workload 19055.29 19062.68 +0.0% Pread 62217.53 62265.27 +0.1% aio-stress: roughly the same ============================ aio-stress -l -s4096 -r128 -t1 -o1 knoppix511-dvd-cn.iso aio-stress -l -s4096 -r128 -t1 -o3 knoppix511-dvd-cn.iso 2.6.20 on-demand delta sequential 92.57s 92.54s -0.0% random 311.87s 312.15s +0.1% sysbench fileio: roughly the same ================================= sysbench --test=fileio --file-io-mode=async --file-test-mode=rndrw \ --file-total-size=4G --file-block-size=64K \ --num-threads=001 --max-requests=10000 --max-time=900 run threads 2.6.20 on-demand delta first run 1 59.1974s 59.2262s +0.0% 2 58.0575s 58.2269s +0.3% 4 48.0545s 47.1164s -2.0% 8 41.0684s 41.2229s +0.4% 16 35.8817s 36.4448s +1.6% 32 32.6614s 32.8240s +0.5% 64 23.7601s 24.1481s +1.6% 128 24.3719s 23.8225s -2.3% 256 23.2366s 22.0488s -5.1% second run 1 59.6720s 59.5671s -0.2% 8 41.5158s 41.9541s +1.1% 64 25.0200s 23.9634s -4.2% 256 22.5491s 20.9486s -7.1% Note that the numbers are not very stable because of the writes.

Some investigations show that - MySQL is accessing the db file non-uniformly: some parts are more hot than others - It is mostly doing 4-page random reads, and sometimes doing two reads in a row, the latter one triggers a 16-page readahead. - The on-demand readahead leaves many lookahead pages (flagged PG_readahead) there. Many of them will be hit, and trigger more readahead pages. Which might save more seeks. - Naturally, the readahead windows tend to lie in hot areas, and the lookahead pages in hot areas is more likely to be hit. - The more overall read density, the more possible gain. That also explains the adaptive readahead tricks for clustered random reads. readahead thrashing: 3 times better =================================== We boot kernel with "mem=128m single", and start a 100KB/s stream on every second, until reaching 200 streams. max throughput min avg I/O size 2.6.20: 5MB/s 16KB on-demand: 15MB/s 140KB Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn> Cc: Steven Pratt <slpratt@austin.ibm.com> Cc: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: fault feedback #1 Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte. FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to arch code). This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were going to do that anyway. struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use without really good reason. The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

mm: fix fault vs invalidate race for linear mappings Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page. Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page. The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page, before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache, do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache. The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation. This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the file's i_size, and its truncate_count. Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated truncate_count is actually visible). Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same place will see a different page. Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large performance hit. Scalability is not an issue. This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while holding the lock). This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

Add VM_BUG_ON in case someone uses page_mapping on a slab page Detect slab objects being passed to the page oriented functions of the VM. It is not sufficient to simply return NULL because the functions calling page_mapping may depend on other items of the page_struct also to be setup properly. Moreover slab object may not be properly aligned. The page oriented functions of the VM expect to operate on page aligned, page sized objects. Operations on object straddling page boundaries may only affect the objects partially which may lead to surprising results. It is better to detect eventually remaining uses and eliminate them.

This patch adds the necessary documentation. From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64 because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled in an architecture-independent manner. This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing (i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will ignore the boot parameter.

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

Detach sched.h from mm.h First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

mm: optimize compound_head() by avoiding a shared page flag The patch adds PageTail(page) and PageHead(page) to check if a page is the head or the tail of a compound page. This is done by masking the two bits describing the state of a compound page and then comparing them. So one comparision and a branch instead of two bit checks and two branches.

Make page->private usable in compound pages If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page. page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in there. Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent. They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e. if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB. Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there right now. Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger blocks than page size. We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte range Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given function to every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm structure. This is a generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking code in every place that a sequence of PTEs must be accessed. Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O memory (in ioremap()).

[PATCH] simplify shmem_aops.set_page_dirty() method shmem backed file does not have page writeback, nor it participates in backing device's dirty or writeback accounting. So using generic __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() for its .set_page_dirty aops method is a bit overkill. It unnecessarily prolongs shm unmap latency. For example, on a densely populated large shm segment (sevearl GBs), the unmapping operation becomes painfully long. Because at unmap, kernel transfers dirty bit in PTE into page struct and to the radix tree tag. The operation of tagging the radix tree is particularly expensive because it has to traverse the tree from the root to the leaf node on every dirty page. What's bothering is that radix tree tag is used for page write back. However, shmem is memory backed and there is no page write back for such file system. And in the end, we spend all that time tagging radix tree and none of that fancy tagging will be used. So let's simplify it by introduce a new aops __set_page_dirty_no_writeback and this will speed up shm unmap.

[PATCH] zoneid: fix up calculations for ZONEID_PGSHIFT Currently if we have a non-zero ZONES_SHIFT we assume we are able to rely on that as the bottom edge of the ZONEID, if not then we use the NODES_PGOFF as the right end of either NODES _or_ SECTION. This latter is more luck than judgement and would be incorrect if we reordered the SECTION,NODE,ZONE options in the fields space. Really what we want is the lower of the right hand end of the two fields we are using (either NODE,ZONE or SECTION,ZONE). Codify that explicitly. As always allow for there being no bits in either of the fields, such as might be valid in a non-numa machine with only a zone NORMAL. I have checked that the compiler is still able to constant fold all of this away correctly.

This is a throw back to when page_to_nid was a #define and was thus exposing the real type of the page flags field. In addition to fixing up the definitions of page_to_nid and zone_to_nid I audited the users of these functions identifying the following incorrect uses: 1) mm/page_alloc.c show_node() -- printk dumping the node id, 2) include/asm-ia64/pgalloc.h pgtable_quicklist_free() -- comparison against numa_node_id() which returns an int from cpu_to_node(), and 3) mm/mpolicy.c check_pte_range -- used as an index in node_isset which uses bit_set which in generic code takes an int.

[PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be already in the cpu cache. In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table. The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number. This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be obtained without a cache miss. For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node. There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones. Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

[PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULT Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting instruction. It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again in get_user_pages(). I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later case. The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I don't see other ways of fixing it. In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT. And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video ram and main meory. To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page() handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT. (For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at the proof-of-concept stage. I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do to create struct page for SPEs. Basically, that provides a generic solution for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too). All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from no_page() handlers.

[PATCH] do_no_pfn() Implement do_no_pfn() for handling mapping of memory without a struct page backing it. This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which are not backed by real memory. This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data corruption on some architectures, such as ia64). This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than expect all negative pfn values would be an error. It also bugs on cow mappings as this would not work with the VM.

[PATCH] own header file for struct page This moves the definition of struct page from mm.h to its own header file page-struct.h. This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on s390: #define SetPageUptodate(_page) do { struct page *__page = (_page); if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags)) page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page); } while (0) _page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs. Using __page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well. In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions. Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate header file for the struct page definition.

[PATCH] Allow an arch to expand node boundaries Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node (pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was registered by the architecture. However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add.

[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

[PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s. The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again. The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty. The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when: - its shared writeable (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED) - it is not a 'special' mapping (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping) - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and because they don't have a backing store anyway. mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides the last condition. Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call. It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will also wrprotect the PTE. Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself. This is needed because clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate locking order.

[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] zoned vm counters: create vmstat.c/.h from page_alloc.c/.h NOTE: ZVC are *not* the lightweight event counters. ZVCs are reliable whereas event counters do not need to be. Zone based VM statistics are necessary to be able to determine what the state of memory in one zone is. In a NUMA system this can be helpful for local reclaim and other memory optimizations that may be able to shift VM load in order to get more balanced memory use. It is also useful to know how the computing load affects the memory allocations on various zones. This patchset allows the retrieval of that data from userspace. The patchset introduces a framework for counters that is a cross between the existing page_stats --which are simply global counters split per cpu-- and the approach of deferred incremental updates implemented for nr_pagecache. Small per cpu 8 bit counters are added to struct zone. If the counter exceeds certain thresholds then the counters are accumulated in an array of atomic_long in the zone and in a global array that sums up all zone values. The small 8 bit counters are next to the per cpu page pointers and so they will be in high in the cpu cache when pages are allocated and freed. Access to VM counter information for a zone and for the whole machine is then possible by simply indexing an array (Thanks to Nick Piggin for pointing out that approach). The access to the total number of pages of various types does no longer require the summing up of all per cpu counters. Benefits of this patchset right now: - Ability for UP and SMP configuration to determine how memory is balanced between the DMA, NORMAL and HIGHMEM zones. - loops over all processors are avoided in writeback and reclaim paths. We can avoid caching the writeback information because the needed information is directly accessible. - Special handling for nr_pagecache removed. - zone_reclaim_interval vanishes since VM stats can now determine when it is worth to do local reclaim. - Fast inline per node page state determination. - Accurate counters in /sys/devices/system/node/node*/meminfo. Current counters are counting simply which processor allocated a page somewhere and guestimate based on that. So the counters were not useful to show the actual distribution of page use on a specific zone. - The swap_prefetch patch requires per node statistics in order to figure out when processors of a node can prefetch. This patch provides some of the needed numbers. - Detailed VM counters available in more /proc and /sys status files.

[PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

[PATCH] page migration: Support a vma migration function Hooks for calling vma specific migration functions With this patch a vma may define a vma->vm_ops->migrate function. That function may perform page migration on its own (some vmas may not contain page structs and therefore cannot be handled by regular page migration. Pages in a vma may require special preparatory treatment before migration is possible etc) . Only mmap_sem is held when the migration function is called. The migrate() function gets passed two sets of nodemasks describing the source and the target of the migration. The flags parameter either contains MPOL_MF_MOVE which means that only pages used exclusively by the specified mm should be moved or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL which means that pages shared with other processes should also be moved. The migration function returns 0 on success or an error condition. An error condition will prevent regular page migration from occurring. On its own this patch cannot be included since there are no users for this functionality. But it seems that the uncached allocator will need this functionality at some point.

[PATCH] add page_mkwrite() vm_operations method Add a new VMA operation to notify a filesystem or other driver about the MMU generating a fault because userspace attempted to write to a page mapped through a read-only PTE. This facility permits the filesystem or driver to: (*) Implement storage allocation/reservation on attempted write, and so to deal with problems such as ENOSPC more gracefully (perhaps by generating SIGBUS). (*) Delay making the page writable until the contents have been written to a backing cache. This is useful for NFS/AFS when using FS-Cache/CacheFS. It permits the filesystem to have some guarantee about the state of the cache. (*) Account and limit number of dirty pages. This is one piece of the puzzle needed to make shared writable mapping work safely in FUSE. Needed by cachefs (Or is it cachefiles? Or fscache? <head spins>). At least four other groups have stated an interest in it or a desire to use the functionality it provides: FUSE, OCFS2, NTFS and JFFS2. Also, things like EXT3 really ought to use it to deal with the case of shared-writable mmap encountering ENOSPC before we permit the page to be dirtied. From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> get_user_pages(.write=1, .force=1) can generate COW hits on read-only shared mappings, this patch traps those as mkpage_write candidates and fails to handle them the old way.

[PATCH] zone handle unaligned zone boundaries The buddy allocator has a requirement that boundaries between contigious zones occur aligned with the the MAX_ORDER ranges. Where they do not we will incorrectly merge pages cross zone boundaries. This can lead to pages from the wrong zone being handed out. Originally the buddy allocator would check that buddies were in the same zone by referencing the zone start and end page frame numbers. This was removed as it became very expensive and the buddy allocator already made the assumption that zones boundaries were aligned. It is clear that not all configurations and architectures are honouring this alignment requirement. Therefore it seems safest to reintroduce support for non-aligned zone boundaries. This patch introduces a new check when considering a page a buddy it compares the zone_table index for the two pages and refuses to merge the pages where they do not match. The zone_table index is unique for each node/zone combination when FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM is enabled and for each section/zone combination when SPARSEMEM is enabled (a SPARSEMEM section is at least a MAX_ORDER size).

[PATCH] mm: simplify vmscan vs release refcounting The VM has an interesting race where a page refcount can drop to zero, but it is still on the LRU lists for a short time. This was solved by testing a 0->1 refcount transition when picking up pages from the LRU, and dropping the refcount in that case. Instead, use atomic_add_unless to ensure we never pick up a 0 refcount page from the LRU, thus a 0 refcount page will never have its refcount elevated until it is allocated again.

[PATCH] mm: compound release fix Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference at the head page - net result is a memory leak. The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself actually did take compound pages into consideration. Fix the bug and the debug check.

THis operation requires root permissions. It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first. Caveats: a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time. b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis.

The following changes are made: (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem code. (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode. (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

[PATCH] madvise(MADV_REMOVE): remove pages from tmpfs shm backing store Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return -ENOSYS. "Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool (shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space. This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML. Concerns raised by Andrew Morton: - "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that." - Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?" - None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really significant ones." Comments: - Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive, the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them. Short term plan & Future Direction: - We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and completeness. This is what this patch does. - In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented. - Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in the future.

mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] unpaged: VM_UNPAGED Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages just leak away. Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core, to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range. Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages don't get on). Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

[PATCH] unpaged: unifdefed PageCompound It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas. We cannot fix that bug without first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while farming out the 0-order pages from within it. That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

And another, ANON to dispose of untouched_anonymous_page: it seems silly for that to descend a second time, let follow_page observe if there was no page table and return ZERO_PAGE if so.

[PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable check_user_page_readable is a problematic variant of follow_page. It's used only by oprofile's i386 and arm backtrace code, at interrupt time, to establish whether a userspace stackframe is currently readable. This is problematic, because we want to push the page_table_lock down inside follow_page, and later split it; whereas oprofile is doing a spin_trylock on it (in the i386 case, forgotten in the arm case), and needs that to pin perhaps two pages spanned by the stackframe (which might be covered by different locks when we split). I think oprofile is going about this in the wrong way: it doesn't need to know the area is readable (neither i386 nor arm uses read protection of user pages), it doesn't need to pin the memory, it should simply __copy_from_user_inatomic, and see if that succeeds or not. Sorry, but I've not got around to devising the sparse __user annotations for this. Then we can eliminate check_user_page_readable, and return to a single follow_page without the __follow_page variants.

[PATCH] mm: unmap_vmas with inner ptlock Remove the page_table_lock from around the calls to unmap_vmas, and replace the pte_offset_map in zap_pte_range by pte_offset_map_lock: all callers are now safe to descend without page_table_lock. Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in unmap_hugepage_range. Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway. Nor does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now. The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without page_table_lock: if they're implemented at all, they typically come down to flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range (which we already audited for the mprotect case).

[PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc take ptlock Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated. Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down, switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself. These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the "atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

[PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc inline and out It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed, pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line. Though it does add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling __pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line. Mark none of them as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not. It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common case. At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map. Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any architectures I haven't built would have other such problems.

[PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it. Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area. Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock differently according to whether or not it's init_mm. If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13). Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64 used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64 map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free took page_table_lock for no good reason.

[PATCH] mm: ia64 use expand_upwards ia64 has expand_backing_store function for growing its Register Backing Store vma upwards. But more complete code for this purpose is found in the CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP part of mm/mmap.c. Uglify its #ifdefs further to provide expand_upwards for ia64 as well as expand_stack for parisc. The Register Backing Store vma should be marked VM_ACCOUNT. Implement the intention of growing it only a page at a time, instead of passing an address outside of the vma to handle_mm_fault, with unknown consequences.

[PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in time update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.

[PATCH] core remove PageReserved Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

[PATCH] mm: unlink_file_vma, remove_vma Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free. The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier, in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem). This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock. But testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.

[PATCH] fix get_user_pages bug Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write. So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer requires pte_write in __follow_page. But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with double underscores. Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

[PATCH] sparsemem memory model Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually become a complete replacement. A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA and DISCONTIG are often confused. Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems, where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory. Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[] to be chopped up. In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the number of used page->flags. One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is used. This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM often have to compile out the same areas of code.

[PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed. Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is not local to that zone. So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be done with information available locally. We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

[PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_range ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them. The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the motions of freeing nothing. Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to ppc64 the special case of skipping them. The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another region into the hugetlb region. In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page at the bottom is larger. Here we need to scale down each addr before passing it to the standard free_pgd_range. Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose. Fixed off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range. Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64. Make sure the vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any other (safe to join huges? probably but don't bother).

[PATCH] freepgt: remove MM_VM_SIZE(mm) There's only one usage of MM_VM_SIZE(mm) left, and it's a troublesome macro because mm doesn't contain the (32-bit emulation?) info needed. But it too is only needed because we ignore the end from the vma list. We could make flush_pgtables return that end, or unmap_vmas. Choose the latter, since it's a natural fit with unmap_mapping_range_vma needing to know its restart addr. This does make more than minimal change, but if unmap_vmas had returned the end before, this is how we'd have done it, rather than storing the break_addr in zap_details. unmap_vmas used to return count of vmas scanned, but that's just debug which hasn't been useful in a while; and if we want the map_count 0 on exit check back, it can easily come from the final remove_vm_struct loop.

[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables. Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied?

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
