Seven years after introducing the global_reclaim() function, I still have
to double take when reading a callsite. I don't know how others do it,
this is a terrible name.
Invert the meaning and rename it to cgroup_reclaim().
[ After all, "global reclaim" is just regular reclaim invoked from the
page allocator. It's reclaim on behalf of a cgroup limit that is a
special case of reclaim, and should be explicit - not the reverse. ]
sane_reclaim() isn't very descriptive either: it tests whether we can use
the regular writeback throttling - available during regular page reclaim
or cgroup2 limit reclaim - or need to use the broken
wait_on_page_writeback() method. Use "writeback_throttling_sane()".

inactive_list_is_low() should be about one thing: checking the ratio
between inactive and active list. Kitchensink checks like the one for
swap space makes the function hard to use and modify its callsites.
Luckly, most callers already have an understanding of the swap situation,
so it's easy to clean up.
get_scan_count() has its own, memcg-aware swap check, and doesn't even get
to the inactive_list_is_low() check on the anon list when there is no swap
space available.
shrink_list() is called on the results of get_scan_count(), so that check
is redundant too.
age_active_anon() has its own totalswap_pages check right before it checks
the list proportions.
The shrink_node_memcg() site is the only one that doesn't do its own swap
check. Add it there.
Then delete the swap check from inactive_list_is_low().

There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.
How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.
Document that in a comment.
Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.
While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

Patch series "mm: vmscan: cgroup-related cleanups".
Here are 8 patches that clean up the reclaim code's interaction with
cgroups a bit. They're not supposed to change any behavior, just make
the implementation easier to understand and work with.
This patch (of 8):
This function currently takes the node or lruvec size and subtracts the
zones that are excluded by the classzone index of the allocation. It uses
four different types of counters to do this.
Just add up the eligible zones.

HugeTLB helper alloc_gigantic_page() implements fairly generic
allocation method where it scans over various zones looking for a large
contiguous pfn range before trying to allocate it with
alloc_contig_range().
Other than deriving the requested order from 'struct hstate', there is
nothing HugeTLB specific in there. This can be made available for
general use to allocate contiguous memory which could not have been
allocated through the buddy allocator.
alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual allocation
method which is then made available via new alloc_contig_pages() helper
wrapped under CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC. All references to 'gigantic' have
been replaced with more generic term 'contig'. Allocated pages here
should be freed with free_contig_range() or by calling __free_page() on
each allocated page.

Patch series "kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow
memory", v11.
Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This means
that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.
This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's very
easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is some
work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.
This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822
In terms of implementation details:
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:
- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.
- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)
This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the
end of the world. The benchmarks are also a stress-test for the vmalloc
subsystem: they're not indicative of an overall 2x slowdown!
This patch (of 4):
Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow memory
to back the mappings.
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space
will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left unmapped.
This will require changes in arch-specific code.
This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.
Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:
- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.
- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=3D1)
This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the
end of the world.

With the new allocation approach introduced in the 5.2 kernel, it
becomes possible to get rid of one global spinlock. By doing that we
can further improve the KVA from the performance point of view.
Basically we can have two independent locks, one for allocation part and
another one for deallocation, because of two different entities: "free
data structures" and "busy data structures".
As a result, allocation/deallocation operations can still interfere
between each other in case of running simultaneously on different CPUs,
it means there is still dependency, but with two locks it becomes lower.
Summarizing:
- it reduces the high lock contention
- it allows to perform operations on "free" and "busy"
trees in parallel on different CPUs. Please note it
does not solve scalability issue.
Test results:
In order to evaluate this patch, we can run "vmalloc test driver" to see
how many CPU cycles it takes to complete all test cases running
sequentially. All online CPUs run it so it will cause a high lock
contention.

When fit type is NE_FIT_TYPE there is a need in one extra object.
Usually the "ne_fit_preload_node" per-CPU variable has it and there is
no need in GFP_NOWAIT allocation, but there are exceptions.
This commit just adds more explanations, as a result giving answers on
questions like when it can occur, how often, under which conditions and
what happens if GFP_NOWAIT gets failed.

Allocation functions should comply with the given gfp_mask as much as
possible. The preallocation code in alloc_vmap_area doesn't follow that
pattern and it is using a hardcoded GFP_KERNEL. Although this doesn't
really make much difference because vmalloc is not GFP_NOWAIT compliant
in general (e.g. page table allocations are GFP_KERNEL) there is no
reason to spread that bad habit and it is good to fix the antipattern.

Some background. The preemption was disabled before to guarantee that a
preloaded object is available for a CPU, it was stored for. That was
achieved by combining the disabling the preemption and taking the spin
lock while the ne_fit_preload_node is checked.
The aim was to not allocate in atomic context when spinlock is taken
later, for regular vmap allocations. But that approach conflicts with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT philosophy. It means that calling spin_lock() with
disabled preemption is forbidden in the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel.
Therefore, get rid of preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() when the
preload is done for splitting purpose. As a result we do not guarantee
now that a CPU is preloaded, instead we minimize the case when it is
not, with this change, by populating the per cpu preload pointer under
the vmap_area_lock.
This implies that at least each caller that has done the preallocation
will not fallback to an atomic allocation later. It is possible that
the preallocation would be pointless or that no preallocation is done
because of the race but the data shows that this is really rare.
For example i run the special test case that follows the preload pattern
and path. 20 "unbind" threads run it and each does 1000000 allocations.
Only 3.5 times among 1000000 a CPU was not preloaded. So it can happen
but the number is negligible.

Vincent has noticed [1] that there is something unusual with the memmap
allocations going on on his platform
: I noticed this because on my ARM64 platform, with 1 GiB of memory the
: first [and only] section is allocated from the zeroing path while with
: 2 GiB of memory the first 1 GiB section is allocated from the
: non-zeroing path.
The underlying problem is that although sparse_buffer_init allocates
enough memory for all sections on the node sparse_buffer_alloc is not
able to consume them due to mismatch in the expected allocation
alignement. While sparse_buffer_init preallocation uses the PAGE_SIZE
alignment the real memmap has to be aligned to section_map_size() this
results in a wasted initial chunk of the preallocated memmap and
unnecessary fallback allocation for a section.
While we are at it also change __populate_section_memmap to align to the
requested size because at least VMEMMAP has constrains to have memmap
properly aligned.

sparsemem without VMEMMAP has two allocation paths to allocate the
memory needed for its memmap (done in sparse_mem_map_populate()).
In one allocation path (sparse_buffer_alloc() succeeds), the memory is
not zeroed (since it was previously allocated with
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw()).
In the other allocation path (sparse_buffer_alloc() fails and
sparse_mem_map_populate() falls back to memblock_alloc_try_nid()), the
memory is zeroed.
AFAICS this difference does not appear to be on purpose. If the code is
supposed to work with non-initialized memory (__init_single_page() takes
care of zeroing the struct pages which are actually used), we should
consistently not zero the memory, to avoid masking bugs.
( I noticed this because on my ARM64 platform, with 1 GiB of memory the
first [and only] section is allocated from the zeroing path while with
2 GiB of memory the first 1 GiB section is allocated from the
non-zeroing path. )

Our onlining/offlining code is unnecessarily complicated. Only memory
blocks added during boot can have holes (a range that is not
IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM). Hotplugged memory never has holes (e.g., see
add_memory_resource()). All memory blocks that belong to boot memory
are already online.
Note that boot memory can have holes and the memmap of the holes is
marked PG_reserved. However, also memory allocated early during boot is
PG_reserved - basically every page of boot memory that is not given to
the buddy is PG_reserved.
Therefore, when we stop allowing to offline memory blocks with holes, we
implicitly no longer have to deal with onlining memory blocks with
holes. E.g., online_pages() will do a walk_system_ram_range(...,
online_pages_range), whereby online_pages_range() will effectively only
free the memory holes not falling into a hole to the buddy. The other
pages (holes) are kept PG_reserved (via
move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone()).
This allows to simplify the code. For example, we no longer have to
worry about marking pages that fall into memory holes PG_reserved when
onlining memory. We can stop setting pages PG_reserved completely in
memmap_init_zone().
Offlining memory blocks added during boot is usually not guaranteed to
work either way (unmovable data might have easily ended up on that
memory during boot). So stopping to do that should not really hurt.
Also, people are not even aware of a setup where onlining/offlining of
memory blocks with holes used to work reliably (see [1] and [2]
especially regarding the hotplug path) - I doubt it worked reliably.
For the use case of offlining memory to unplug DIMMs, we should see no
change. (holes on DIMMs would be weird).
Please note that hardware errors (PG_hwpoison) are not memory holes and
are not affected by this change when offlining.

The mem_sysfs_mutex isn't really helpful. Also, it's not really clear
what the mutex protects at all.
The device lists of the memory subsystem are protected separately. We
don't need that mutex when looking up. creating, or removing
independent devices. find_memory_block_by_id() will perform locking on
its own and grab a reference of the returned device.
At the time memory_dev_init() is called, we cannot have concurrent
hot(un)plug operations yet - we're still fairly early during boot. We
don't need any locking.
The creation/removal of memory block devices should be protected on a
higher level - especially using the device hotplug lock to avoid
documented issues (see Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst) - or
if that is reworked, using similar locking.
Protecting in the context of these functions only doesn't really make
sense. Especially, if we would have a situation where the same memory
blocks are created/deleted at the same time, there is something horribly
going wrong (imagining adding/removing a DIMM at the same time from two
call paths) - after the functions succeeded something else in the
callers would blow up (e.g., create_memory_block_devices() succeeded but
there are no memory block devices anymore).
All relevant call paths (except when adding memory early during boot via
ACPI, which is now documented) hold the device hotplug lock when adding
memory, and when removing memory. Let's document that instead.
Add a simple safety net to create_memory_block_devices() in case we
would actually remove memory blocks while adding them, so we'll never
dereference a NULL pointer. Simplify memory_dev_init() now that the
lock is gone.

We have two types of users of page isolation:
1. Memory offlining: Offline memory so it can be unplugged. Memory
won't be touched.
2. Memory allocation: Allocate memory (e.g., alloc_contig_range()) to
become the owner of the memory and make use of
it.
For example, in case we want to offline memory, we can ignore (skip
over) PageHWPoison() pages, as the memory won't get used. We can allow
to offline memory. In contrast, we don't want to allow to allocate such
memory.
Let's generalize the approach so we can special case other types of
pages we want to skip over in case we offline memory. While at it, also
pass the same flags to test_pages_isolated().

Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2.
This patch (of 2):
We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all
pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison.
Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point.
In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections
offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as
invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk
over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the
isolated free lists, to be precise).
Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap
getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision
the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to
stale/uninitialized memmaps.
So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is
marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the
memmap is stale either way.
This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the
memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set
PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).

On PowerPC, the address ranges allocated to OpenCAPI LPC memory are
allocated from firmware. These address ranges may be higher than what
older kernels permit, as we increased the maximum permissable address in
commit 4ffe713b75 ("powerpc/mm: Increase the max addressable memory to
2PB"). It is possible that the addressable range may change again in
the future.
In this scenario, we end up with a bogus section returned from
__section_nr (see the discussion on the thread "mm: Trigger bug on if a
section is not found in __section_nr").
Adding a check here means that we fail early and have an opportunity to
handle the error gracefully, rather than rumbling on and potentially
accessing an incorrect section.
Further discussion is also on the thread ("powerpc: Perform a bounds

Currently during memory hot add procedure, memory gets into memblock
before calling arch_add_memory() which creates its linear mapping.
add_memory_resource() {
..................
memblock_add_node()
..................
arch_add_memory()
..................
}
But during memory hot remove procedure, removal from memblock happens
first before its linear mapping gets teared down with
arch_remove_memory() which is not consistent. Resource removal should
happen in reverse order as they were added. However this does not pose
any problem for now, unless there is an assumption regarding linear
mapping. One example was a subtle failure on arm64 platform [1].
Though this has now found a different solution.
try_remove_memory() {
..................
memblock_free()
memblock_remove()
..................
arch_remove_memory()
..................
}
This changes the sequence of resource removal including memblock and
linear mapping tear down during memory hot remove which will now be the
reverse order in which they were added during memory hot add. The
changed removal order looks like the following.
try_remove_memory() {
..................
arch_remove_memory()
..................
memblock_free()
memblock_remove()
..................
}

Memory hot remove now works on arm64 without this because a recent
commit 60bb462fc7ad ("drivers/base/node.c: simplify
unregister_memory_block_under_nodes()").
This does not fix a serious problem. It just removes an inconsistency
while freeing resources during memory hot remove which for now does not
pose a real problem.
David mentioned that re-ordering should still make sense for consistency
purpose (removing stuff in the reverse order they were added). This
patch is now detached from arm64 hot-remove series.
Michal:
: I would just a note that the inconsistency doesn't pose any problem now
: but if somebody makes any assumptions about linear mappings then it could
: get subtly broken like your example for arm64 which has found a different
: solution in the meantime.

Currently soft_offline_page() receives struct page, and its sibling
memory_failure() receives pfn. This discrepancy looks weird and makes
precheck on pfn validity tricky. So let's align them.

add_to_kill() expects the first 'tk' to be pre-allocated, it makes
subsequent allocations on need basis, this makes the code a bit
difficult to read.
Move all the allocation internal to add_to_kill() and drop the **tk

In this test, the parent and child both have writable private mappings.
The test shows that without the patch in this series, the parent and
child shared the same memory which is incorrect. In other words, COW
needs to be triggered so any writes to child's copy stays local to the
child.

F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE has unexpected behavior when used with MAP_PRIVATE:
A private mapping created after the memfd file that gets sealed with
F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE loses the copy-on-write at fork behavior, meaning
children and parent share the same memory, even though the mapping is
private.
The reason for this is due to the code below:
static int shmem_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
struct shmem_inode_info *info = SHMEM_I(file_inode(file));
if (info->seals & F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE) {
/*
* New PROT_WRITE and MAP_SHARED mmaps are not allowed when
* "future write" seal active.
*/
if ((vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED) && (vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
return -EPERM;
/*
* Since the F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seals allow for a MAP_SHARED
* read-only mapping, take care to not allow mprotect to revert
* protections.
*/
vma->vm_flags &= ~(VM_MAYWRITE);
}
...
}
And for the mm to know if a mapping is copy-on-write:
static inline bool is_cow_mapping(vm_flags_t flags)
{
return (flags & (VM_SHARED | VM_MAYWRITE)) == VM_MAYWRITE;
}
The patch fixes the issue by making the mprotect revert protection
happen only for shared mappings. For private mappings, using mprotect
will have no effect on the seal behavior.
The F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE feature was introduced in v5.1 so v5.3.x stable
kernels would need a backport.

A huge pud page can theoretically be faulted in racing with pmd_alloc()
in __handle_mm_fault(). That will lead to pmd_alloc() returning an
invalid pmd pointer.
Fix this by adding a pud_trans_unstable() function similar to
pmd_trans_unstable() and check whether the pud is really stable before
using the pmd pointer.
Race:
Thread 1: Thread 2: Comment
create_huge_pud() Fallback - not taken.
create_huge_pud() Taken.
pmd_alloc() Returns an invalid pointer.
This will result in user-visible huge page data corruption.
Note that this was caught during a code audit rather than a real
experienced problem. It looks to me like the only implementation that
currently creates huge pud pagetable entries is dev_dax_huge_fault()
which doesn't appear to care much about private (COW) mappings or
write-tracking which is, I believe, a prerequisite for create_huge_pud()
falling back on thread 1, but not in thread 2.

The code savings are not a whole lot, but still worthwhile IMHO.
This patch (of 5):
With paging code made 5-level compliant, this is no longer needed. ARC
has software page walker with 2 lookup levels (pgd -> pte)
This was expected to be non functional change but ended with slight
code bloat due to needless inclusions of p*d_free_tlb() macros which
will be addressed in further patches.

get_unmapped_area() returns an address or -errno on failure. Historically
we have checked for the failure by offset_in_page() which is correct but
quite hard to read. Newer code started using IS_ERR_VALUE which is much
easier to read. Convert remaining users of offset_in_page as well.

In __anon_vma_prepare(), we will try to find anon_vma if it is possible to
reuse it. While on fork, the logic is different.
Since commit 5beb493052 ("mm: change anon_vma linking to fix
multi-process server scalability issue"), function anon_vma_clone() tries
to allocate new anon_vma for child process. But the logic here will
allocate a new anon_vma for each vma, even in parent this vma is mergeable
and share the same anon_vma with its sibling. This may do better for
scalability issue, while it is not necessary to do so especially after
interval tree is used.
Commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy")
tries to reuse some anon_vma by counting child anon_vma and attached vmas.
While for those mergeable anon_vmas, we can just reuse it and not
necessary to go through the logic.
After this change, kernel build test reduces 20% anon_vma allocation.
Do the same kernel build test, it shows run time in sys reduced 11.6%.
