While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

Since tmpfs THP was supported in 4.8, hugetlbfs is not the only
filesystem with huge page support anymore. tmpfs can use huge page via
THP when mounting by "huge=" mount option.
When applications use huge page on hugetlbfs, it just need check the
filesystem magic number, but it is not enough for tmpfs. Make
stat.st_blksize return huge page size if it is mounted by appropriate
"huge=" option to give applications a hint to optimize the behavior with
THP.
Some applications may not do wisely with THP. For example, QEMU may
mmap file on non huge page aligned hint address with MAP_FIXED, which
results in no pages are PMD mapped even though THP is used. Some
applications may mmap file with non huge page aligned offset. Both
behaviors make THP pointless.
statfs.f_bsize still returns 4KB for tmpfs since THP could be split, and
it also may fallback to 4KB page silently if there is not enough huge
page. Furthermore, different f_bsize makes max_blocks and free_blocks
calculation harder but without too much benefit. Returning huge page
size via stat.st_blksize sounds good enough.
Since PUD size huge page for THP has not been supported, now it just
returns HPAGE_PMD_SIZE.

mmap_sem will be read locked when calling follow_pmd_mask(). But this
cannot prevent PMD from being changed for all cases when PTL is
unlocked, for example, from pmd_trans_huge() to pmd_none() via
MADV_DONTNEED. So it is possible for the pmd_present() check in
follow_pmd_mask() to encounter an invalid PMD. This may cause an
incorrect VM_BUG_ON() or an infinite loop. Fix this by reading the PMD
entry into a local variable with READ_ONCE() and checking the local
variable and pmd_none() in the retry loop.
As Kirill pointed out, with PTL unlocked, the *pmd may be changed under
us, so reading it directly again and again may incur weird bugs. So
although using *pmd directly other than for pmd_present() checking may
be safe, it is still better to replace them to read *pmd once and check
the local variable multiple times.
When PTL unlocked, replace all *pmd with local variable was suggested by
Kirill.

If memcg's usage is equal to the memory.low value, avoid reclaiming from
this cgroup while there is a surplus of reclaimable memory.
This sounds more logical and also matches memory.high and memory.max
behavior: both are inclusive.
Empty cgroups are not considered protected, so MEMCG_LOW events are not
emitted for empty cgroups, if there is no more reclaimable memory in the
system.

This patch aims to address an issue in current memory.low semantics,
which makes it hard to use it in a hierarchy, where some leaf memory
cgroups are more valuable than others.
For example, there are memcgs A, A/B, A/C, A/D and A/E:
A A/memory.low = 2G, A/memory.current = 6G
//\\
BC DE B/memory.low = 3G B/memory.current = 2G
C/memory.low = 1G C/memory.current = 2G
D/memory.low = 0 D/memory.current = 2G
E/memory.low = 10G E/memory.current = 0
If we apply memory pressure, B, C and D are reclaimed at the same pace
while A's usage exceeds 2G. This is obviously wrong, as B's usage is
fully below B's memory.low, and C has 1G of protection as well. Also, A
is pushed to the size, which is less than A's 2G memory.low, which is
also wrong.
A simple bash script (provided below) can be used to reproduce
the problem. Current results are:
A: 1430097920
A/B: 711929856
A/C: 717426688
A/D: 741376
A/E: 0
To address the issue a concept of effective memory.low is introduced.
Effective memory.low is always equal or less than original memory.low.
In a case, when there is no memory.low overcommittment (and also for
top-level cgroups), these two values are equal.
Otherwise it's a part of parent's effective memory.low, calculated as a
cgroup's memory.low usage divided by sum of sibling's memory.low usages
(under memory.low usage I mean the size of actually protected memory:
memory.current if memory.current < memory.low, 0 otherwise). It's
necessary to track the actual usage, because otherwise an empty cgroup
with memory.low set (A/E in my example) will affect actual memory
distribution, which makes no sense. To avoid traversing the cgroup tree
twice, page_counters code is reused.
Calculating effective memory.low can be done in the reclaim path, as we
conveniently traversing the cgroup tree from top to bottom and check
memory.low on each level. So, it's a perfect place to calculate
effective memory low and save it to use it for children cgroups.
This also eliminates a need to traverse the cgroup tree from bottom to
top each time to check if parent's guarantee is not exceeded.
Setting/resetting effective memory.low is intentionally racy, but it's
fine and shouldn't lead to any significant differences in actual memory
distribution.
With this patch applied results are matching the expectations:
A: 2147930112
A/B: 1428721664
A/C: 718393344
A/D: 815104

This patch renames struct page_counter fields:
count -> usage
limit -> max
and the corresponding functions:
page_counter_limit() -> page_counter_set_max()
mem_cgroup_get_limit() -> mem_cgroup_get_max()
mem_cgroup_resize_limit() -> mem_cgroup_resize_max()
memcg_update_kmem_limit() -> memcg_update_kmem_max()
memcg_update_tcp_limit() -> memcg_update_tcp_max()
The idea behind this renaming is to have the direct matching
between memory cgroup knobs (low, high, max) and page_counters API.
This is pure renaming, this patch doesn't bring any functional change.

With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation
where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS. Previously, memfd was only
supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c.
In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined. If
HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality
will not be available for hugetlbfs. This does not cause BUGs, just a
lack of potentially desired functionality.
Code is restructured in the following way:
- include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific
definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h.
- mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously
contained in shmem.c.
- memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c.
- A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS
or HUGETLBFS is defined.
No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only.

zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means
those pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm.
Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching,
they tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out. zRAM can
store such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless to keep in
memory. Better idea is app developers free them directly rather than
remaining them on heap.
This patch tell us last access time of each block of zram via "cat
/sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state".
The output is as follows,
300 75.033841 .wh
301 63.806904 s..
302 63.806919 ..h
First column is zram's block index and 3rh one represents symbol (s:
same page w: written page to backing store h: huge page) of the block
state. Second column represents usec time unit of the block was last
accessed. So above example means the 300th block is accessed at
75.033851 second and it was huge so it was written to the backing store.
Admin can leverage this information to catch cold|incompressible pages
of process with *pagemap* once part of heaps are swapped out.
I used the feature a few years ago to find memory hoggers in userspace
to notify them what memory they have wasted without touch for a long
time. With it, they could reduce unnecessary memory space. However, at
that time, I hacked up zram for the feature but now I need the feature
again so I decided it would be better to upstream rather than keeping it
alone. I hope I submit the userspace tool to use the feature soon.

Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching,

so better idea is app developers manages them directly like free or

This patch provides a debugfs /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state
to represent each block's state so admin can investigate what memory is
cold|incompressible|same page with using pagemap once the pages are
swapped out.

is also not a common flag to indicate status of the block so move the
declare position on top of the flag. Lastly, let's move the function to
the top of source code to be able to use it easily without forward

mmap_sem is on the hot path of kernel, and it very contended, but it is
abused too. It is used to protect arg_start|end and evn_start|end when
reading /proc/$PID/cmdline and /proc/$PID/environ, but it doesn't make
sense since those proc files just expect to read 4 values atomically and
not related to VM, they could be set to arbitrary values by C/R.
And, the mmap_sem contention may cause unexpected issue like below:
INFO: task ps:14018 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Tainted: G E 4.9.79-009.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1

Both Alexey Dobriyan and Michal Hocko suggested to use dedicated lock
for them to mitigate the abuse of mmap_sem.
So, introduce a new spinlock in mm_struct to protect the concurrent
access to arg_start|end, env_start|end and others, as well as replace
write map_sem to read to protect the race condition between prctl and
sys_brk which might break check_data_rlimit(), and makes prctl more
friendly to other VM operations.
This patch just eliminates the abuse of mmap_sem, but it can't resolve
the above hung task warning completely since the later
access_remote_vm() call needs acquire mmap_sem. The mmap_sem
scalability issue will be solved in the future.

ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker as a variant of ocfs2_inode_lock, is used to
prevent deadlock due to recursive lock acquisition.
But this function does not distinguish whether the requested level is EX
or PR.
If a RP lock has been attained, this function will immediately return
success afterwards even an EX lock is requested.
But actually the return value does not mean that the process got a EX
lock, because ocfs2_inode_lock has not been called.
When taking lock levels into account, we face some different situations:
1. no lock is held
In this case, just lock the inode and return 0
2. We are holding a lock
For this situation, things diverges into several cases
wanted holding what to do
ex ex see 2.1 below
ex pr see 2.2 below
pr ex see 2.1 below
pr pr see 2.1 below
2.1 lock level that is been held is compatible
with the wanted level, so no lock action will be tacken.
2.2 Otherwise, an upgrade is needed, but it is forbidden.
Reason why upgrade within a process is forbidden is that lock upgrade
may cause dead lock. The following illustrate how it happens.
process 1 process 2
ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=0)
<====== ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=1)
ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=1)
For the status quo of ocfs2, without this patch, neither a bug nor
end-user impact will be caused because the wrong logic is avoided.
But I'm afraid this generic interface, may be called by other developers
in future and used in this situation.
a process
ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=0)
ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=1)

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
commit 1c8f422059 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
There was an existing bug inside dax_load_hole() if vm_insert_mixed had
failed to allocate a page table, we'd return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead of
VM_FAULT_OOM. With new vmf_insert_mixed() this issue is addressed.
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite has inefficiency when it returns an error value,
driver has to convert it to vm_fault_t type. With new
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() this limitation will be addressed.

This can happen when multiple cpus trying to talk to user mode process
via bpfilter_mbox_request(). One cpu grabs the mutex while another goes to
sleep on the same mutex. Then former cpu sees that umh pipe is down and
shuts down the pipes. Later cpu finally acquires the mutex and crashes
on freed pipe.
Fix the race by using info.pid as an indicator that umh and pipes are healthy
and check it after acquiring the mutex.
