mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT. While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever. A reproducer can be found at [1]. The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way: it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages(). __get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong. So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to madvise_populate(). But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with different error codes than we'd want to. As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there. With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.

mm: madvise: pageout: ignore references rather than clearing young While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan. Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise, folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed. But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring the new access during the quite small time gap is even better. For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages(). A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of MADV_PAGEOUT, #define PGSIZE 4096 main() { int i; #define SIZE 512*1024*1024 volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long)) p[i] = 0x11; madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT); } w/o patch w/ patch root@10:~# time ./a.out root@10:~# time ./a.out real 0m49.634s real 0m46.334s user 0m0.637s user 0m0.648s sys 0m47.434s sys 0m44.265s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240226005739.24350-1-21cnbao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): allow split while folio_estimated_sharers = 0 The purpose is stopping splitting large folios whose mapcount are 2 or above. Folios whose estimated_shares = 0 should be still perfect and even better candidates than estimated_shares = 1. Consider a pte-mapped large folio with 16 subpages, if we unmap 1-15, the current code will split folios and reclaim them while madvise goes on this folio; but if we unmap subpage 0, we will keep this folio and break. This is weird. For pmd-mapped large folios, we can still use "= 1" as the condition as anyway we have the entire map for it. So this patch doesn't change the condition for pmd-mapped large folios. This also explains why we had been using "= 1" for both pmd-mapped and pte-mapped large folios before commit 07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to use folios"), because in the past, we used the mapcount of the specific subpage, since the subpage had pte present, its mapcount wouldn't be 0. The problem can be quite easily reproduced by writing a small program, unmapping the first subpage of a pte-mapped large folio vs. unmapping anyone other than the first subpage.

mm/madvise: add cond_resched() in madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() I conducted real-time testing and observed that madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() causes significant latency under memory pressure, which can be effectively reduced by adding cond_resched() within the loop. I tested on the LicheePi 4A board using Cylictest for latency testing and Ftrace for latency tracing. The board uses TH1520 processor and has a memory size of 8GB. The kernel version is 6.5.0 with the PREEMPT_RT patch applied. The script I tested is as follows: echo wakeup_rt > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency stress-ng --vm 8 --vm-bytes 2G & cyclictest --mlockall --smp --priority=99 --distance=0 --duration=30m echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace The tracing results before modification are as follows: # tracer: wakeup_rt # # wakeup_rt latency trace v1.1.5 on 6.5.0-rt6-r1208-00003-g999d221864bf # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 2552 us, #6/6, CPU#3 | (M:preempt_rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: cyclictest-196 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99) # ----------------- # # _--------=> CPU# # / _-------=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _------=> need-resched # || / _-----=> need-resched-lazy # ||| / _----=> hardirq/softirq # |||| / _---=> preempt-depth # ||||| / _--=> preempt-lazy-depth # |||||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||||| time | caller # \ / |||||||| \ | / stress-n-206 3dn.h512 2us : 206:120:R + [003] 196: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-206 3dn.h512 7us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup => ttwu_do_activate => try_to_wake_up => wake_up_process => hrtimer_wakeup => __hrtimer_run_queues => hrtimer_interrupt => riscv_timer_interrupt => handle_percpu_devid_irq => generic_handle_domain_irq => riscv_intc_irq => handle_riscv_irq => do_irq stress-n-206 3dn.h512 9us#: 0 stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2544us : __schedule stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2545us : 206:120:R ==> [003] 196: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2551us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup_sched_switch => __schedule => preempt_schedule => migrate_enable => rt_spin_unlock => madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range => walk_pgd_range => __walk_page_range => walk_page_range => madvise_pageout => madvise_vma_behavior => do_madvise => sys_madvise => do_trap_ecall_u => ret_from_exception The tracing results after modification are as follows: # tracer: wakeup_rt # # wakeup_rt latency trace v1.1.5 on 6.5.0-rt6-r1208-00004-gca3876fc69a6-dirty # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 1689 us, #6/6, CPU#0 | (M:preempt_rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: cyclictest-217 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99) # ----------------- # # _--------=> CPU# # / _-------=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _------=> need-resched # || / _-----=> need-resched-lazy # ||| / _----=> hardirq/softirq # |||| / _---=> preempt-depth # ||||| / _--=> preempt-lazy-depth # |||||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||||| time | caller # \ / |||||||| \ | / stress-n-232 0dn.h413 1us+: 232:120:R + [000] 217: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-232 0dn.h413 12us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup => ttwu_do_activate => try_to_wake_up => wake_up_process => hrtimer_wakeup => __hrtimer_run_queues => hrtimer_interrupt => riscv_timer_interrupt => handle_percpu_devid_irq => generic_handle_domain_irq => riscv_intc_irq => handle_riscv_irq => do_irq stress-n-232 0dn.h413 19us#: 0 stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1671us : __schedule stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1676us+: 232:120:R ==> [000] 217: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1687us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup_sched_switch => __schedule => preempt_schedule => migrate_enable => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => free_pages_and_swap_cache => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_flush_mmu => unmap_page_range => unmap_vmas => unmap_region => do_vmi_align_munmap.constprop.0 => do_vmi_munmap => __vm_munmap => sys_munmap => do_trap_ecall_u => ret_from_exception After the modification, the cause of maximum latency is no longer madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), so this modification can reduce the latency caused by madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range().

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().

swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async Patch series "Per-VMA lock support for swap and userfaults", v7. When per-VMA locks were introduced in [1] several types of page faults would still fall back to mmap_lock to keep the patchset simple. Among them are swap and userfault pages. The main reason for skipping those cases was the fact that mmap_lock could be dropped while handling these faults and that required additional logic to be implemented. Implement the mechanism to allow per-VMA locks to be dropped for these cases. First, change handle_mm_fault to drop per-VMA locks when returning VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED to be consistent with the way mmap_lock is handled. Then change folio_lock_or_retry to accept vm_fault and return vm_fault_t which simplifies later patches. Finally allow swap and uffd page faults to be handled under per-VMA locks by dropping per-VMA and retrying, the same way it's done under mmap_lock. Naturally, once VMA lock is dropped that VMA should be assumed unstable and can't be used. This patch (of 6): Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2] removed polling support. Therefore it seems safe to remove do_poll parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage with synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.

mm: lock vma explicitly before doing vm_flags_reset and vm_flags_reset_once Implicit vma locking inside vm_flags_reset() and vm_flags_reset_once() is not obvious and makes it hard to understand where vma locking is happening. 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: make PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR more general Patch series "add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with UFFD", v4. This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4 for a detailed description of the feature. This patch (of 8): Future patches will reuse PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR to implement UFFDIO_POISON, so make some various preparations for that: First, rename it to just PTE_MARKER_POISONED. The "SWAPIN" can be confusing since we're going to re-use it for something not really related to swap. This can be particularly confusing for things like hugetlbfs, which doesn't support swap whatsoever. Also rename some various helper functions. Next, fix pte marker copying for hugetlbfs. Previously, it would WARN on seeing a PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR, since hugetlbfs doesn't support swap. But, since we're going to re-use it, we want it to go ahead and copy it just like non-hugetlbfs memory does today. Since the code to do this is more complicated now, pull it out into a helper which can be re-used in both places. While we're at it, also make it slightly more explicit in its handling of e.g. uffd wp markers. For non-hugetlbfs page faults, instead of returning VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for an error entry, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. For most cases this change doesn't matter, e.g. a userspace program would receive a SIGBUS either way. But for UFFDIO_POISON, this change will let KVM guests get an MCE out of the box, instead of giving a SIGBUS to the hypervisor and requiring it to somehow inject an MCE. Finally, for hugetlbfs faults, handle PTE_MARKER_POISONED, and return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE in such cases. Note that this can't happen today because the lack of swap support means we'll never end up with such a PTE anyway, but this behavior will be needed once such entries *can* show up via UFFDIO_POISON.

mm: madvise: fix uneven accounting of psi A folio turns into a Workingset during: 1) shrink_active_list() placing the folio from active to inactive list. 2) When a workingset transition is happening during the folio refault. And when Workingset is set on a folio, PSI for memory can be accounted during a) That folio is being reclaimed and b) Refault of that folio, for usual reclaims. This accounting of PSI for memory is not consistent for reclaim + refault operation between usual reclaim and madvise(COLD/PAGEOUT) which deactivate or proactively reclaim a folio: a) A folio started at inactive and moved to active as part of accesses. Workingset is absent on the folio thus refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT operation doesn't account for PSI. b) When the same folio transition from inactive->active and then to inactive through shrink_active_list(). Workingset is set on the folio thus refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT operation accounts for PSI. c) When the same folio is part of active list directly as a result of folio refault and this was a workingset folio prior to eviction. Workingset is set on the folio thus the refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT/MADV_COLD operation accounts for PSI. d) MADV_COLD transfers the folio from active list to inactive list. Such folios may not have the Workingset thus refault operation on such folio doesn't account for PSI. As said above, refault operation caused because of MADV_PAGEOUT on a folio is accounts for memory PSI in b) and c) but not in a). Refault caused by the reclaim of a folio on which MADV_COLD is performed accounts memory PSI in c) but not in d). These behaviours are inconsistent w.r.t usual reclaim + refault operation. Make this PSI accounting always consistent by turning a folio into a workingset one whenever it is leaving the active list. Also, accounting of PSI on a folio whenever it leaves the active list as part of the MADV_COLD/PAGEOUT operation helps the users whether they are operating on proper folios[1].

It's not correct for large folios. folio_mapcount() returns the total mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio is shared. Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares. That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here. User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise. But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.

madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check Patch series "don't use mapcount() to check large folio sharing", v2. In madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range(), folio_mapcount() is used to check whether the folio is shared. But it's not correct as folio_mapcount() returns total mapcount of large folio. Use folio_estimated_sharers() here as the estimated number is enough. This patchset will fix the cases: User space application call madvise() with MADV_FREE, MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT for specific address range. There are THP mapped to the range. Without the patchset, the THP is skipped. With the patch, the THP will be split and handled accordingly. David reported the cow self test skip some cases because of MADV_PAGEOUT skip THP: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/9e92e42d-488f-47db-ac9d-75b24cd0d037@intel.com/T/#mbf0f2ec7fbe45da47526de1d7036183981691e81 and I confirmed this patchset make it work again.

mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the walk. The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such walks. A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range() to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

mm: ptep_get() conversion Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics. But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source. Conversion was done using Coccinelle: ---- // $ make coccicheck \ // COCCI=ptepget.cocci \ // SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \ // MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ pte_t *v; @@ - *v + ptep_get(v) ---- Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex. Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep. So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are defined.

Fix unimportant off-by-one on end_index. Call the swp_entry_t "entry" rather than "swap": either is okay, but entry is the name used elsewhere in mm/madvise.c. Do not assume GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE: that's right for anon swap, but shmem should take gfp from mapping.

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.

mm: change to return bool for folio_isolate_lru() Patch series "Change the return value for page isolation functions", v3. Now the page isolation functions did not return a boolean to indicate success or not, instead it will return a negative error when failed to isolate a page. So below code used in most places seem a boolean success/failure thing, which can confuse people whether the isolation is successful. if (folio_isolate_lru(folio)) continue; Moreover the page isolation functions only return 0 or -EBUSY, and most users did not care about the negative error except for few users, thus we can convert all page isolation functions to return a boolean value, which can remove the confusion to make code more clear. No functional changes intended in this patch series. This patch (of 4): Now the folio_isolate_lru() did not return a boolean value to indicate isolation success or not, however below code checking the return value can make people think that it was a boolean success/failure thing, which makes people easy to make mistakes (see the fix patch[1]). if (folio_isolate_lru(folio)) continue; Thus it's better to check the negative error value expilictly returned by folio_isolate_lru(), which makes code more clear per Linus's suggestion[2]. Moreover Matthew suggested we can convert the isolation functions to return a boolean[3], since most users did not care about the negative error value, and can also remove the confusing of checking return value. So this patch converts the folio_isolate_lru() to return a boolean value, which means return 'true' to indicate the folio isolation is successful, and 'false' means a failure to isolation. Meanwhile changing all users' logic of checking the isolation state. No functional changes intended.

fs: port inode_owner_or_capable() to mnt_idmap Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

mm/madvise: fix madvise_pageout for private file mappings When MADV_PAGEOUT is called on a private file mapping VMA region, we bail out early if the process is neither owner nor write capable of the file. However, this VMA may have both private/shared clean pages and private dirty pages. The opportunity of paging out the private dirty pages (Anon pages) is missed. Fix this behavior by allowing private file mappings pageout further and perform the file access check along with PageAnon() during page walk. We observe ~10% improvement in zram usage, thus leaving more available memory on a 4GB RAM system running Android.

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 .

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,madvise,hugetlb: fix unexpected data loss with MADV_DONTNEED on hugetlbfs A common use case for hugetlbfs is for the application to create memory pools backed by huge pages, which then get handed over to some malloc library (eg. jemalloc) for further management. That malloc library may be doing MADV_DONTNEED calls on memory that is no longer needed, expecting those calls to happen on PAGE_SIZE boundaries. However, currently the MADV_DONTNEED code rounds up any such requests to HPAGE_PMD_SIZE boundaries. This leads to undesired outcomes when jemalloc expects a 4kB MADV_DONTNEED, but 2MB of memory get zeroed out, instead. Use of pre-built shared libraries means that user code does not always know the page size of every memory arena in use. Avoid unexpected data loss with MADV_DONTNEED by rounding up only to PAGE_SIZE (in do_madvise), and rounding down to huge page granularity. That way programs will only get as much memory zeroed out as they requested.

mm/madvise: introduce MADV_COLLAPSE sync hugepage collapse This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1]. Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense. The benefits of this approach are: * CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the THP * Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse Semantics This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE. If the ranges provided span multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent from the others. This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary. If collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified. The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to be hugepage-aligned. If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned address covered by said range. The memory ranges must span at least one hugepage-sized region. All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly allocated hugepage. Unmapped pages will have their data directly initialized to 0 in the new hugepage. However, for every eligible hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must already exist). Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or compaction, regardless of VMA flags. When the system has multiple NUMA nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most native pages. This operation operates on the current state of the specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future Return Value If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this operation will be deemed successful. On success, process_madvise(2) returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0. Else, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently attempted hugepage collapse. Note that many failures might have occurred, since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single hugepage-sized/aligned region fails. ENOMEM Memory allocation failed or VMA not found EBUSY Memcg charging failed EAGAIN Required resource temporarily unavailable. Try again might succeed. EINVAL Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ... Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an appropriate fallback measure. Use Cases An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED; zapping the pmd. Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage coverage and dTLB performance. TCMalloc is such an implementation that could benefit from this[2]. Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is expected. File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit: * Backing executable text by THPs. Current support provided by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which might impair services from serving at their full rated load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint. With MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance and lower RAM footprints. * Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

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: submit multipage reads for SWP_FS_OPS swap-space swap_readpage() is given one page at a time, but may be called repeatedly in succession. For block-device swap-space, the blk_plug functionality allows the multiple pages to be combined together at lower layers. That cannot be used for SWP_FS_OPS as blk_plug may not exist - it is only active when CONFIG_BLOCK=y. Consequently all swap reads over NFS are single page reads. With this patch we pass in a pointer-to-pointer when swap_readpage can store state between calls - much like the effect of blk_plug. After calling swap_readpage() some number of times, the state will be passed to swap_read_unplug() which can submit the combined request.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.

Revert "mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise" This reverts commit 08095d6310a7 ("mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise") as process_madvise() fails to return the exact processed bytes in other cases too. As an example: if process_madvise() hits mlocked pages after processing some initial bytes passed in [start, end), it just returns EINVAL although some bytes are processed. Thus making an exception only for ENOMEM is partially fixing the problem of returning the proper advised bytes. Thus revert this patch and return proper bytes advised.

mm: madvise: MADV_DONTNEED_LOCKED MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use cases for depopulating locked ranges as well. Users mlock memory to protect secrets. There are allocators for secure buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and invalidated memory to give up the physical pages. This could be done with explicit munlock -> mlock calls on free -> alloc of course, but that adds two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages. Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are okay with on-demand initial population. It seems valid to selectively free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to mess with its overall policy. Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase? - MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior now could lead to quiet data corruption. - It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later. - The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't change the default behavior because of the two previous points. Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

mm: enable MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings Patch series "Add hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED support", v3. Userfaultfd selftests for hugetlb does not perform UFFD_EVENT_REMAP testing. However, mremap support was recently added in commit 550a7d60bd5e ("mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed vma"). While attempting to enable mremap support in the test, it was discovered that the mremap test indirectly depends on MADV_DONTNEED. madvise does not allow MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings. However, that is primarily due to the check in can_madv_lru_vma(). By simply removing the check and adding huge page alignment, MADV_DONTNEED can be made to work for hugetlb mappings. Do note that there is no compelling use case for adding this support. This was discussed in the RFC [1]. However, adding support makes sense as it is fairly trivial and brings hugetlb functionality more in line with 'normal' memory. After enabling support, add selftest for MADV_DONTNEED as well as MADV_REMOVE. Then update userfaultfd selftest. If new functionality is accepted, then madvise man page will be updated to indicate hugetlb is supported. It will also be updated to clarify what happens to the passed length argument. This patch (of 3): MADV_DONTNEED is currently disabled for hugetlb mappings. This certainly makes sense in shared file mappings as the pagecache maintains a reference to the page and it will never be freed. However, it could be useful to unmap and free pages in private mappings. In addition, userfaultfd minor fault users may be able to simplify code by using MADV_DONTNEED. The primary thing preventing MADV_DONTNEED from working on hugetlb mappings is a check in can_madv_lru_vma(). To allow support for hugetlb mappings create and use a new routine madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma() that allows hugetlb mappings in this specific case. For normal mappings, madvise requires the start address be PAGE aligned and rounds up length to the next multiple of PAGE_SIZE. Do similarly for hugetlb mappings: require start address be huge page size aligned and round up length to the next multiple of huge page size. Use the new madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma routine to check alignment and round up length/end. zap_page_range requires this alignment for hugetlb vmas otherwise we will hit BUGs.

mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise The process_madvise() system call is expected to skip holes in vma passed through 'struct iovec' vector list. But do_madvise, which process_madvise() calls for each vma, returns ENOMEM in case of unmapped holes, despite the VMA is processed. Thus process_madvise() should treat ENOMEM as expected and consider the VMA passed to as processed and continue processing other vma's in the vector list. Returning -ENOMEM to user, despite the VMA is processed, will be unable to figure out where to start the next madvise.

mm: madvise: return correct bytes advised with process_madvise Patch series "mm: madvise: return correct bytes processed with process_madvise", v2. With the process_madvise(), always choose to return non zero processed bytes over an error. This can help the user to know on which VMA, passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list, is failed to advise thus can take the decission of retrying/skipping on that VMA. This patch (of 2): The process_madvise() system call returns error even after processing some VMA's passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list which leaves the user confused to know where to restart the advise next. It is also against this syscall man page[1] documentation where it mentions that "return value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error occurred after some iovec elements were already processed.". Consider a user passed 10 VMA's in the 'struct iovec' vector list of which 9 are processed but one. Then it just returns the error caused on that failed VMA despite the first 9 VMA's processed, leaving the user confused about on which VMA it is failed. Returning the number of bytes processed here can help the user to know which VMA it is failed on and thus can retry/skip the advise on that VMA.

mm/munlock: delete munlock_vma_pages_all(), allow oomreap munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when mapping in the pte. Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all() on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages. There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(). exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range(). And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas, because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks? No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

mm: fix use-after-free when anon vma name is used after vma is freed When adjacent vmas are being merged it can result in the vma that was originally passed to madvise_update_vma being destroyed. In the current implementation, the name parameter passed to madvise_update_vma points directly to vma->anon_name and it is used after the call to vma_merge. In the cases when vma_merge merges the original vma and destroys it, this might result in UAF. For that the original vma would have to hold the anon_vma_name with the last reference. The following vma would need to contain a different anon_vma_name object with the same string. Such scenario is shown below: madvise_vma_behavior(vma) madvise_update_vma(vma, ..., anon_name == vma->anon_name) vma_merge(vma) __vma_adjust(vma) <-- merges vma with adjacent one vm_area_free(vma) <-- frees the original vma replace_vma_anon_name(anon_name) <-- UAF of vma->anon_name Fix this by raising the name refcount and stabilizing it.

mm: prevent vm_area_struct::anon_name refcount saturation A deep process chain with many vmas could grow really high. With default sysctl_max_map_count (64k) and default pid_max (32k) the max number of vmas in the system is 2147450880 and the refcounter has headroom of 1073774592 before it reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED (3221225472). Therefore it's unlikely that an anonymous name refcounter will overflow with these defaults. Currently the max for pid_max is PID_MAX_LIMIT (4194304) and for sysctl_max_map_count it's INT_MAX (2147483647). In this configuration anon_vma_name refcount overflow becomes theoretically possible (that still require heavy sharing of that anon_vma_name between processes). kref refcounting interface used in anon_vma_name structure will detect a counter overflow when it reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED value but will only generate a warning and freeze the ref counter. This would lead to the refcounted object never being freed. A determined attacker could leak memory like that but it would be rather expensive and inefficient way to do so. To ensure anon_vma_name refcount does not overflow, stop anon_vma_name sharing when the refcount reaches REFCOUNT_MAX (2147483647), which still leaves INT_MAX/2 (1073741823) values before the counter reaches REFCOUNT_SATURATED. This should provide enough headroom for raising the refcounts temporarily.

This should not really be part of linux/mm_types.h in the first place, as that header is meant to only contain structure defintions and need a minimum set of indirect includes itself. While the header clearly includes more than it should at this point, let's not make it worse by including string.h as well, which would pull in the expensive (compile-speed wise) fortify-string logic. Move the new functions into a separate header that only needs to be included in a couple of locations.

mm: add anonymous vma name refcounting While forking a process with high number (64K) of named anonymous vmas the overhead caused by strdup() is noticeable. Experiments with ARM64 Android device show up to 40% performance regression when forking a process with 64k unpopulated anonymous vmas using the max name lengths vs the same process with the same number of anonymous vmas having no name. Introduce anon_vma_name refcounted structure to avoid the overhead of copying vma names during fork() and when splitting named anonymous vmas. When a vma is duplicated, instead of copying the name we increment the refcount of this structure. Multiple vmas can point to the same anon_vma_name as long as they increment the refcount. The name member of anon_vma_name structure is assigned at structure allocation time and is never changed. If vma name changes then the refcount of the original structure is dropped, a new anon_vma_name structure is allocated to hold the new name and the vma pointer is updated to point to the new structure. With this approach the fork() performance regressions is reduced 3-4x times and with usecases using more reasonable number of VMAs (a few thousand) the regressions is not measurable.

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 '`'.

I checked the image sizes with allnoconfig builds: unpatched Linus' ToT text data bss dec hex filename 1324759 32 73928 1398719 1557bf vmlinux After the first patch is applied (madvise refactoring) text data bss dec hex filename 1322346 32 73928 1396306 154e52 vmlinux >>> 2413 bytes decrease vs ToT <<< After all patches applied with CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME=n text data bss dec hex filename 1322337 32 73928 1396297 154e49 vmlinux >>> 2422 bytes decrease vs ToT <<< After all patches applied with CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME=y text data bss dec hex filename 1325228 32 73928 1399188 155994 vmlinux >>> 469 bytes increase vs ToT <<< This patch (of 3): Refactor the madvise syscall to allow for parts of it to be reused by a prctl syscall that affects vmas. Move the code that walks vmas in a virtual address range into a function that takes a function pointer as a parameter. The only caller for now is sys_madvise, which uses it to call madvise_vma_behavior on each vma, but the next patch will add an additional caller. Move handling all vma behaviors inside madvise_behavior, and rename it to madvise_vma_behavior. Move the code that updates the flags on a vma, including splitting or merging the vma as necessary, into a new function called madvise_update_vma. The next patch will add support for updating a new anon_name field as well.

mm: use pidfd_get_task() Instead of duplicating the same code in two places use the newly added pidfd_get_task() helper. This fixes an (unimportant for now) bug where PIDTYPE_PID is used whereas PIDTYPE_TGID should have been used.

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

mm/madvise: report SIGBUS as -EFAULT for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) Doing some extended tests and polishing the man page update for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), I realized that we end up converting also SIGBUS (via -EFAULT) to -EINVAL, making it look like yet another madvise() user error. We want to report only problematic mappings and permission problems that the user could have know as -EINVAL. Let's not convert -EFAULT arising due to SIGBUS (or SIGSEGV) to -EINVAL, but instead indicate -EFAULT to user space. While we could also convert it to -ENOMEM, using -EFAULT looks more helpful when user space might want to troubleshoot what's going wrong: MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) is not part of an final Linux release and we can still adjust the behavior.

mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/ discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs). While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory. Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition, we never actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort only. fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a safe way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate() does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads) and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of backend storage. There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy as it does not prefault page tables. II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not overwrite existing data) all individual pages. However, that approach 1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem. 2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple threads. 3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors. "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that easy. III. On MADV_WILLNEED Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because 1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/ preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.". 2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon) don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time might be spent. IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics: 1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in the file system) in case the file might have holes. 2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) readable once. 3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and prefault page tables just like manually writing (or reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated. 4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) writable once. 5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL. 6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables might have been populated. 7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range. 8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the process. While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e., preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty, because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting. MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve preallcoation+prepopulation. Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently suppressed. Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1], however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements -- which should also still be the case. V. Single-threaded performance comparison I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings. V.1: Private mappings POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable -- which result in short population times. The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. V.2: Shared mappings fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables. POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes. POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads. Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ. The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then, FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as dirty. v.3: Detailed results ================================================== 2 MiB MAP_PRIVATE: ************************************************** Anon 4 KiB : Read : 0.119 ms Anon 4

mm/madvise: replace ptrace attach requirement for process_madvise process_madvise currently requires ptrace attach capability. PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH gives one process complete control over another process. It effectively removes the security boundary between the two processes (in one direction). Granting ptrace attach capability even to a system process is considered dangerous since it creates an attack surface. This severely limits the usage of this API. The operations process_madvise can perform do not affect the correctness of the operation of the target process; they only affect where the data is physically located (and therefore, how fast it can be accessed). What we want is the ability for one process to influence another process in order to optimize performance across the entire system while leaving the security boundary intact. Replace PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH with a combination of PTRACE_MODE_READ and CAP_SYS_NICE. PTRACE_MODE_READ to prevent leaking ASLR metadata and CAP_SYS_NICE for influencing process performance.

inode: make init and permission helpers idmapped mount aware The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before. Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

mm,memory_failure: always pin the page in madvise_inject_error madvise_inject_error() uses get_user_pages_fast to translate the address we specified to a page. After [1], we drop the extra reference count for memory_failure() path. That commit says that memory_failure wanted to keep the pin in order to take the page out of circulation. The truth is that we need to keep the page pinned, otherwise the page might be re-used after the put_page() and we can end up messing with someone else's memory. E.g: CPU0 process X CPU1 madvise_inject_error get_user_pages put_page page gets reclaimed process Y allocates the page memory_failure // We mess with process Y memory madvise() is meant to operate on a self address space, so messing with pages that do not belong to us seems the wrong thing to do. To avoid that, let us keep the page pinned for memory_failure as well. Pages for DAX mappings will release this extra refcount in memory_failure_dev_pagemap.

mm/madvise: remove racy mm ownership check Jann spotted the security hole due to race of mm ownership check. If the task is sharing the mm_struct but goes through execve() before mm_access(), it could skip process_madvise_behavior_valid check. That makes *any advice hint* to reach into the remote process. This patch removes the mm ownership check. With it, it will lose the ability that local process could give *any* advice hint with vector interface for some reason (e.g., performance). Since there is no concrete example in upstream yet, it would be better to remove the abiliity at this moment and need to review when such new advice comes up.

mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService. The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim on its own without any app involvement. To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very cache friendly environment). Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2) with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support feature. ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully. The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API. I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus, I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch. If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a buggy syscall but hard to fix it later. So finally, the API is as follows, ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec, unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve system or application performance. The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information) The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in <sys/uio.h> as: struct iovec { void *iov_base; /* starting address */ size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */ }; The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base) and with size length of bytes(iov_len). The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec. The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is external. MADV_COLD MADV_PAGEOUT Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2). The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target process is in same thread group with calling process so user could use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support vector address ranges. RETURN VALUE On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised. This return value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value to determine whether a partial advice occurred. FAQ: Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge? Quote from Sandeep "For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer) are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the preloading during boot. After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the application. In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides which process is "important" to the user for interactivity. So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know* which address range of the application is not used / useful. Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory, please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1]. They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do. So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant memory in these applications will be useful. - ssp Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target process? process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space target process can run between the time the process_madvise process inspects the target process address space and the time that process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write. The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level, there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more fine-grained optimization model. To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument so we could support it in future if someone really needs it. Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work? Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at most one ptracer.

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.

mm,hwpoison: return 0 if the page is already poisoned in soft-offline Currently, there is an inconsistency when calling soft-offline from different paths on a page that is already poisoned. 1) madvise: madvise_inject_error skips any poisoned page and continues the loop. If that was the only page to madvise, it returns 0. 2) /sys/devices/system/memory/: When calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page(), we return -EBUSY in case the page is already poisoned. This is inconsistent with a) the above example and b) memory_failure, where we return 0 if the page was poisoned. Fix this by dropping the PageHWPoison() check in madvise_inject_error, and let soft_offline_page return 0 if it finds the page already poisoned. Please, note that this represents a user-api change, since now the return error when calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page() will be different.

mm: check that mm is still valid in madvise() IORING_OP_MADVISE can end up basically doing mprotect() on the VM of another process, which means that it can race with our crazy core dump handling which accesses the VM state without holding the mmap_sem (because it incorrectly thinks that it is the final user). This is clearly a core dumping problem, but we've never fixed it the right way, and instead have the notion of "check that the mm is still ok" using mmget_still_valid() after getting the mmap_sem for writing in any situation where we're not the original VM thread. See commit 04f5866e41fb ("coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping") for more background on this whole mmget_still_valid() thing. You might want to have a barf bag handy when you do. We're discussing just fixing this properly in the only remaining core dumping routines. But even if we do that, let's make do_madvise() do the right thing, and then when we fix core dumping, we can remove all these mmget_still_valid() checks.

mm: do not allow MADV_PAGEOUT for CoW pages Jann has brought up a very interesting point [1]. While shared pages are excluded from MADV_PAGEOUT normally, CoW pages can be easily reclaimed that way. This can lead to all sorts of hard to debug problems. E.g. performance problems outlined by Daniel [2]. There are runtime environments where there is a substantial memory shared among security domains via CoW memory and a easy to reclaim way of that memory, which MADV_{COLD,PAGEOUT} offers, can lead to either performance degradation in for the parent process which might be more privileged or even open side channel attacks. The feasibility of the latter is not really clear to me TBH but there is no real reason for exposure at this stage. It seems there is no real use case to depend on reclaiming CoW memory via madvise at this stage so it is much easier to simply disallow it and this is what this patch does. Put it simply MADV_{PAGEOUT,COLD} can operate only on the exclusively owned memory which is a straightforward semantic.

But it also isolates the unevictable pages to reclaim. Hence, we can catch the cases in shrink_page_list(). The root cause is that we scan the page tables instead of specific LRU list. and so we need to filter out the unevictable lru pages from our end.

mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU* pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict proactively. A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1]. - man-page material MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x) Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure. Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed if a write access is allowed for the calling process. MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments. This patch allows tagged pointers to be passed to the following memory syscalls: get_mempolicy, madvise, mbind, mincore, mlock, mlock2, mprotect, mremap, msync, munlock, move_pages. The mmap and mremap syscalls do not currently accept tagged addresses. Architectures may interpret the tag as a background colour for the corresponding vma.

mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidation CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening. This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to inspect the new vma page protection. The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier should assume that every for the range is going away when that event happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate events for each call.

The inclusion of VM_DONTEXPAND into the VM_SPECIAL defination was a consequence of the large useage of VM_DONTEXPAND in device drivers. A consequence of [2] is that VM_DONTEXPAND marked pages are unable to be marked DODUMP. A user could quite legitimately madvise(MADV_DONTDUMP) their hugetlbfs memory for a while and later request that madvise(MADV_DODUMP) on the same memory. We correct this omission by allowing madvice(MADV_DODUMP) on hugetlbfs pages.

xarray: Replace exceptional entries Introduce xarray value entries and tagged pointers to replace radix tree exceptional entries. This is a slight change in encoding to allow the use of an extra bit (we can now store BITS_PER_LONG - 1 bits in a value entry). It is also a change in emphasis; exceptional entries are intimidating and different. As the comment explains, you can choose to store values or pointers in the xarray and they are both first-class citizens.

mm, madvise_inject_error: Let memory_failure() optionally take a page reference The madvise_inject_error() routine uses get_user_pages() to lookup the pfn and other information for injected error, but it does not release that pin. The assumption is that failed pages should be taken out of circulation. However, for dax mappings it is not possible to take pages out of circulation since they are 1:1 physically mapped as filesystem blocks, or device-dax capacity. They also typically represent persistent memory which has an error clearing capability. In preparation for adding a special handler for dax mappings, shift the responsibility of taking the page reference to memory_failure(). I.e. drop the page reference and do not specify MF_COUNT_INCREASED to memory_failure().

mm/madvise.c: fix madvise() infinite loop under special circumstances MADVISE_WILLNEED has always been a noop for DAX (formerly XIP) mappings. Unfortunately madvise_willneed() doesn't communicate this information properly to the generic madvise syscall implementation. The calling convention is quite subtle there. madvise_vma() is supposed to either return an error or update &prev otherwise the main loop will never advance to the next vma and it will keep looping for ever without a way to get out of the kernel. It seems this has been broken since introduction. Nobody has noticed because nobody seems to be using MADVISE_WILLNEED on these DAX mappings.

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.

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. This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO: https://man.openbsd.org/minherit.2 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: numerically order arch/parisc/include/uapi/asm/mman.h #defines] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170811212829.29186-3-riel@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reported-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com> Reported-by: Colm MacCártaigh <colm@allcosts.net> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: "H.

mm, madvise: ensure poisoned pages are removed from per-cpu lists Wendy Wang reported off-list that a RAS HWPOISON-SOFT test case failed and bisected it to the commit 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP"). The problem is that a page that was poisoned with madvise() is reused. The commit removed a check that would trigger if DEBUG_VM was enabled but re-enabling the check only fixes the problem as a side-effect by printing a bad_page warning and recovering. The root of the problem is that an madvise() can leave a poisoned page on the per-cpu list. This patch drains all per-cpu lists after pages are poisoned so that they will not be reused. Wendy reports that the test case in question passes with this patch applied. While this could be done in a targeted fashion, it is over-complicated for such a rare operation.

mm/madvise.c: fix freeing of locked page with MADV_FREE If madvise(..., MADV_FREE) split a transparent hugepage, it called put_page() before unlock_page(). This was wrong because put_page() can free the page, e.g. if a concurrent madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED) has removed it from the memory mapping. put_page() then rightfully complained about freeing a locked page. Fix this by moving the unlock_page() before put_page().

mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add madvise() event for MADV_FREE request MADV_FREE is identical to MADV_DONTNEED from the point of view of uffd monitor. The monitor has to stop handling #PF events in the range being freed. We are reusing userfaultfd_remove callback along with the logic required to re-get and re-validate the VMA which may change or disappear because userfaultfd_remove releases mmap_sem.

swap: add block io poll in swapin path For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of context switch. block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves performance and latency a lot. swapin is a good place to use this technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue execution. In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is about 60% better than that without poll. With iopoll support in swapin patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about 10%~25% faster. CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x CPU utilization. This will depend on disk speed. While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk. block layer has knob to control poll in runtime. If poll isn't enabled in block layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin. I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media. In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread test and ~20% in 8 threads test. So this is the base line. In above swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test. blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though. If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll. Also we can adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is reduced further. In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though. The performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is similar too. There is lock contention in swap path. The cpu time spending on blkpoll isn't high. So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse than that without it. The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and form a big IO request. Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page swapin.

mm/madvise.c: clean up MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON This cleans up handling MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON called through madvise() system call. * madvise_memory_failure() was misleading to accommodate handling of both memory_failure() as well as soft_offline_page() functions. Basically it handles memory error injection from user space which can go either way as memory failure or soft offline. Renamed as madvise_inject_error() instead. * Renamed struct page pointer 'p' to 'page'. * pr_info() was essentially printing PFN value but it said 'page' which was misleading.

mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal swapout way. We use normal page reclaim policy. Since MADV_FREE pages are put into inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed according to their age. This is expected, because we don't want to reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

mm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag. MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages. To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is suggested by Johannes. This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it. The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: userfaultfd_remove revalidate vma in MADV_DONTNEED userfaultfd_remove() has to be execute before zapping the pagetables or UFFDIO_COPY could keep filling pages after zap_page_range returned, which would result in non zero data after a MADV_DONTNEED. However userfaultfd_remove() may have to release the mmap_sem. This was handled correctly in MADV_REMOVE, but MADV_DONTNEED accessed a potentially stale vma (the very vma passed to zap_page_range(vma, ...)). The fix consists in revalidating the vma in case userfaultfd_remove() had to release the mmap_sem. This also optimizes away an unnecessary down_read/up_read in the MADV_REMOVE case if UFFD_EVENT_FORK had to be delivered. It all remains zero runtime cost in case CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=n as userfaultfd_remove() will be defined as "true" at build time.

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: rename *EVENT_MADVDONTNEED to *EVENT_REMOVE Patch series "userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add madvise() event for MADV_REMOVE request". These patches add notification of madvise(MADV_REMOVE) event to non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor. The first pacth renames EVENT_MADVDONTNEED to EVENT_REMOVE along with relevant functions and structures. Using _REMOVE instead of _MADVDONTNEED describes the event semantics more clearly and I hope it's not too late for such change in the ABI. This patch (of 3): The UFFD_EVENT_MADVDONTNEED purpose is to notify uffd monitor about removal of certain range from address space tracked by userfaultfd. Hence, UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE seems to better reflect the operation semantics. Respectively, 'madv_dn' field of uffd_msg is renamed to 'remove' and the madvise_userfault_dontneed callback is renamed to userfaultfd_remove.

mm: add tlb_remove_check_page_size_change to track page size change With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop. We did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove. We can improve that by moving the page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page. This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering dax mapping. Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush on page size change. Moving the page size change check earlier means we will do the same even for dax mapping. We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc. In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscalls This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim. Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully. I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really appreciated. As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all should have received the cover though). This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other way I have no objections. I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l 98 $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l 62 I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other places can be changed on top.

It focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after entering the syscall and they are not changing state before. Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to dismantle the OOM victim address space. The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the original non-killable semantic for now. vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm/huge_memory.c: don't split THP page when MADV_FREE syscall is called We don't need to split THP page when MADV_FREE syscall is called if [start, len] is aligned with THP size. The split could be done when VM decide to free it in reclaim path if memory pressure is heavy. With that, we could avoid unnecessary THP split. For the feature, this patch changes pte dirtness marking logic of THP. Now, it marks every ptes of pages dirty unconditionally in splitting, which makes MADV_FREE void. So, instead, this patch propagates pmd dirtiness to all pages via PG_dirty and restores pte dirtiness from PG_dirty. With this, if pmd is clean(ie, MADV_FREEed) when split happens(e,g, shrink_page_list), all of pages are clean too so we could discard them.

mm: move lazily freed pages to inactive list MADV_FREE is a hint that it's okay to discard pages if there is memory pressure and we use reclaimers(ie, kswapd and direct reclaim) to free them so there is no value keeping them in the active anonymous LRU so this patch moves them to inactive LRU list's head. This means that MADV_FREE-ed pages which were living on the inactive list are reclaimed first because they are more likely to be cold rather than recently active pages. An arguable issue for the approach would be whether we should put the page to the head or tail of the inactive list. I chose head because the kernel cannot make sure it's really cold or warm for every MADV_FREE usecase but at least we know it's not *hot*, so landing of inactive head would be a comprimise for various usecases. This fixes suboptimal behavior of MADV_FREE when pages living on the active list will sit there for a long time even under memory pressure while the inactive list is reclaimed heavily. This basically breaks the whole purpose of using MADV_FREE to help the system to free memory which is might not be used.

mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE) Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE). The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens. Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation + zeroing). Jason Evans said: : Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED : (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for : several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this : out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it : in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it : increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the : benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still : enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement. : : Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used : applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately : come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight : into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see : MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications : linked with the integrated jemalloc. : : jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel. : In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's : available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux : (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of : MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly : sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this : remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux. : Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially. How it works: When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding. One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM shouldn't discard the page. However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page wrongly. For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by MADV_FREE. However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future. Look at below example for detail. ptr = malloc(); memset(ptr); .. .. .. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out .. .. var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty .. .. madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page. .. .. .. .. heavy memory pressure again. .. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page .. has *PG_dirty* To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could clear it only if we own it exclusively. Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD) barrios@blaptop:~/benchmark/ebizzy$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 12 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-11 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 1 Socket(s): 12 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 2 Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 3200.185 BogoMIPS: 6400.53 Virtualization: VT-x Hypervisor vendor: KVM Virtualization type: full L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 4096K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-11 ebizzy benchmark(./ebizzy -S 10 -n 512) Higher avg is better. vanilla-jemalloc MADV_free-jemalloc 1 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 2961.90 avg: 12069.70 std: 71.96(2.43%) std: 186.68(1.55%) max: 3070.00 max: 12385.00 min: 2796.00 min: 11746.00 2 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 5020.00 avg: 17827.00 std: 264.87(5.28%) std: 358.52(2.01%) max: 5244.00 max: 18760.00 min: 4251.00 min: 17382.00 4 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 8988.80 avg: 27930.80 std: 1175.33(13.08%) std: 3317.33(11.88%) max: 9508.00 max: 30879.00 min: 5477.00 min: 21024.00 8 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 13036.50 avg: 33739.40 std: 170.67(1.31%) std: 5146.22(15.25%) max: 13371.00 max: 40572.00 min: 12785.00 min: 24088.00 16 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11092.40 avg: 31424.20 std: 710.60(6.41%) std: 3763.89(11.98%) max: 12446.00 max: 36635.00 min: 9949.00 min: 25669.00 32 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11067.00 avg: 34495.80 std: 971.06(8.77%) std: 2721.36(7.89%) max: 12010.00 max: 38598.00 min: 9002.00 min: 30636.00 In summary, MADV_FREE is about much faster than MADV_DONTNEED.

writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

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.

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.

fs: kill i_alloc_sem i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O requests to finish before starting a truncate. Replace it with a hand-grown construct: - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can simply fall way - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't proceed as long as it's non-zero - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation. This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit system).

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.

Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory backed by a file. The assumption is made that the page required is order-0 and "normal" page cache. On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to corrupted page tables. This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed regions.

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%).

[PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into this page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting the realtime/security benefits of mlock. In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into user pages all the time. This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these pages. Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks by cutting large areas out of consideration. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

[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] 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: fix madvise vma merging Better late than never, I've at last reviewed the madvise vma merging going into 2.6.13. Remove a pointless check and fix two little bugs - a simple test (with /proc/<pid>/maps hacked to show ReadHints) showed both mismerges in practice: though being madvise, neither was disastrous. 1. Correct placement of the success label in madvise_behavior: as in mprotect_fixup and mlock_fixup, it is necessary to update vm_flags when vma_merge succeeds (to handle the exceptional Case 8 noted in the comments above vma_merge itself). 2. Correct initial value of prev when starting part way into a vma: as in sys_mprotect and do_mlock, it needs to be set to vma in this case (vma_merge handles only that minimum of cases shown in its comments). 3. If find_vma_prev sets prev, then the vma it returns is prev->vm_next, so it's pointless to make that same assignment again in sys_madvise.

[PATCH] madvise: merge the maps This attempts to merge back the split maps. This code is mostly copied from Chrisw's mlock merging from post 2.6.11 trees. The only difference is in munmapped_error handling. Also passed prev to willneed/dontneed, eventhogh they do not handle it now, since I felt it will be cleaner, instead of handling prev in madvise_vma in some cases and in subfunction in some cases.

[PATCH] madvise: do not split the maps This attempts to avoid splittings when it is not needed, that is when vm_flags are same as new flags. The idea is from the <2.6.11 mlock_fixup and others. This will provide base for the next madvise merging patch.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. 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!
