mm: fix docs for the kernel parameter `thp_anon=`
If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we
will see the following error:
[ 0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting
This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<state>```,
as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct
format is ``thp_anon=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<state>```.
Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the
parameter ``thp_anon=``.

mm: split underused THPs
This is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of memory when THP is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being faulted in (__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page) or collapsed by khugepaged (collapse_huge_page), the THP is added to _deferred_list. Whenever memory reclaim happens in linux, the kernel runs the deferred_split shrinker which goes through the _deferred_list. If the folio was partially mapped, the shrinker attempts to split it. If the folio is not partially mapped, the shrinker checks if the THP was underused, i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were zero-filled. If this number goes above a certain threshold (decided by /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none), the shrinker will attempt to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages that were zero-filled are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory.

mm: count the number of partially mapped anonymous THPs per size
When a THP is added to the deferred_list due to partially mapped, its partial pages are unused, leading to wasted memory and potentially increasing memory reclamation pressure. Detailing the specifics of how unmapping occurs is quite difficult and not that useful, so we adopt a simple approach: each time a THP enters the deferred_list, we increment the count by 1; whenever it leaves for any reason, we decrement the count by 1.

mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size
Patch series "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size", v4.
Knowing the number of transparent anon THPs in the system is crucial
for performance analysis. It helps in understanding the ratio and
distribution of THPs versus small folios throughout the system.
Additionally, partial unmapping by userspace can lead to significant waste
of THPs over time and increase memory reclamation pressure. We need this
information for comprehensive system tuning.
This patch (of 2):
Let's track for each anonymous THP size, how many of them are currently
allocated. We'll track the complete lifespan of an anon THP, starting
when it becomes an anon THP ("large anon folio") (->mapping gets set),
until it gets freed (->mapping gets cleared).
Introduce a new "nr_anon" counter per THP size and adjust the
corresponding counter in the following cases:
* We allocate a new THP and call folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to map
it the first time and turn it into an anon THP.
* We split an anon THP into multiple smaller ones.
* We migrate an anon THP, when we prepare the destination.
* We free an anon THP back to the buddy.
Note that AnonPages in /proc/meminfo currently tracks the total number of
*mapped* anonymous *pages*, and therefore has slightly different
semantics. In the future, we might also want to track "nr_anon_mapped"
for each THP size, which might be helpful when comparing it to the number
of allocated anon THPs (long-term pinning, stuck in swapcache, memory
leaks, ...).
Further note that for now, we only track anon THPs after they got their
->mapping set, for example via folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). If we would
allocate some in the swapcache, they will only show up in the statistics
for now after they have been mapped to user space the first time, where we
call folio_add_new_anon_rmap().

mm: override mTHP "enabled" defaults at kernel cmdline
Add thp_anon= cmdline parameter to allow specifying the default enablement of each supported anon THP size. The parameter accepts the following format and can be provided multiple times to configure each size: thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<value>;<size>-<size>[KMG]:<value> An example: thp_anon=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:madvise;1M-2M:never See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst for more details. Configuring the defaults at boot time is useful to allow early user space to take advantage of mTHP before its been configured through sysfs.

Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZp2C+QAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA joTkAQDvjqOoFStqk4GU3OXMYB7WCU/ZQMFG0iuu1EEwTVDZ4QEA8CnG7seek1R3 xEoo+vw0sWWeLV3qzsxnCA1BJ8cTJA8= =z0Lf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.

This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ... |

mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters
The legacy PMD-sized THP counters at /proc/vmstat include thp_file_alloc,
thp_file_fallback and thp_file_fallback_charge, which rather confusingly
refer to shmem THP and do not include any other types of file pages. This
is inconsistent since in most other places in the kernel, THP counters are
explicitly separated for anon, shmem and file flavours. However, we are
stuck with it since it constitutes a user ABI.

kpageflags: detect isolated KPF_THP folios
When folio is isolated, the PG_lru bit is cleared. So the PG_lru check in stable_page_flags() will miss this kind of isolated folios. Use folio_test_large_rmappable() instead to also include isolated folios. Since pagecache supports large folios and the introduction of mTHP, the semantics of KPF_THP have been expanded, now it indicates not only PMD-sized THP. Update related documentation to clearly state that KPF_THP indicates multiple order THPs.

mm: fix khugepaged activation policy
Since the introduction of mTHP, the docuementation has stated that
khugepaged would be enabled when any mTHP size is enabled, and disabled
when all mTHP sizes are disabled. There are 2 problems with this; 1.
this is not what was implemented by the code and 2. this is not the
desirable behavior.
Desirable behavior is for khugepaged to be enabled when any PMD-sized THP
is enabled, anon or file. (Note that file THP is still controlled by the
top-level control so we must always consider that, as well as the PMD-size
mTHP control for anon). khugepaged only supports collapsing to PMD-sized
THP so there is no value in enabling it when PMD-sized THP is disabled.
So let's change the code and documentation to reflect this policy.
Further, per-size enabled control modification events were not previously
forwarded to khugepaged to give it an opportunity to start or stop.
Consequently the following was resulting in khugepaged eroneously not
being activated:
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled

Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/start: add access pattern snapshot example
DAMON user-space tool (damo) provides access pattern snapshot feature, which is expected to be frequently used for real time access pattern analysis. The snapshot output is also showing what DAMON provides on its own, including the 'age' information. In contrast, the recorded access patterns, which is shown as an example usage on the quick start section, shows what users can make from what DAMON provided. It includes information that generated outside of DAMON and makes the 'age' concept bit unclear. Hence snapshot output is easier at understanding the raw realtime output of DAMON. Add the snapshot usage example on the quick start section.

Documentation/admin-guide/mm/pagemap.rst: drop "Using pagemap to do something useful"
That example was added in 2008. In 2015, we restricted access to the PFNs in the pagemap to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, making that approach quite less usable. It's 2024 now, and using that racy and low-lewel mechanism to calculate the USS should not be considered a good example anymore. /proc/$pid/smaps and /proc/$pid/smaps_rollup can do a much better job without any of that low-level handling.

mm: shmem: add multi-size THP sysfs interface for anonymous shmem
To support the use of mTHP with anonymous shmem, add a new sysfs interface 'shmem_enabled' in the '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-kB/' directory for each mTHP to control whether shmem is enabled for that mTHP, with a value similar to the top level 'shmem_enabled', which can be set to: "always", "inherit (to inherit the top level setting)", "within_size", "advise", "never". An 'inherit' option is added to ensure compatibility with these global settings, and the options 'force' and 'deny' are dropped, which are rather testing artifacts from the old ages. By default, PMD-sized hugepages have enabled="inherit" and all other hugepage sizes have enabled="never" for '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-xxkB/shmem_enabled'. In addition, if top level value is 'force', then only PMD-sized hugepages have enabled="inherit", otherwise configuration will be failed and vice versa. That means now we will avoid using non-PMD sized THP to override the global huge allocation.

mm: drop the 'anon_' prefix for swap-out mTHP counters
The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback' are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with the old swap counter names. This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the field.

The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs. Notable
series include:
- Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping
cleanup/consolidation/maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide:
Remove pXd_huge() API".
- In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in one
test.
- In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
/proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being allocated:
number of calls and amount of memory.
- Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in largely
similar code sites.
- In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene" Johannes
Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of migratetype requests,
with resulting improvements in compaction efficiency.
- In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent" Baolin
Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should improve hugetlb
allocation reliability.
- Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when memory
almost met memcg limit".
- In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting" Kairui
Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10% performance
improvement in one test.
- Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
free_area_init_core()".
- Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
"mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".
- MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
follow_pfn".
- More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various page->flags
cleanups".
- Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

functions to work on folis".
- Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".
- Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
series "Cover a guard gap corner case".
- Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the series
"mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".
- Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs. This
is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is "support
multi-size THP numa balancing".

To update effective size quota of DAMOS schemes on DAMON sysfs file
interface, user should write 'update_schemes_effective_quotas' to the

The example usage of DAMOS filter sysfs files, specifically the part of
'matching' file writing for memcg type filter, is wrong. The intention is
to exclude pages of a memcg that already getting enough care from a given

mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by folio_likely_mapped_shared()
We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to places where absolutely required, to prepare for kernel configs where we won't keep track of per-page mapcounts in large folios. khugepaged is one of the remaining "more challenging" page_mapcount() users, but we might be able to move away from page_mapcount() without resulting in a significant behavior change that would warrant special-casing based on kernel configs. In 2020, we first added support to khugepaged for collapsing COW-shared pages via commit |

mm: zswap: remove same_filled module params
These knobs offer more fine-grained control to userspace than needed and
directly expose/influence kernel implementation; remove them.
For disabling same_filled handling, there is no logical reason to refuse
storing same-filled pages more efficiently and opt for compression.
Scanning pages for patterns may be an argument, but the page contents will
be read into the CPU cache anyway during compression. Also, removing the
same_filled handling code does not move the needle significantly in terms
of performance anyway [1].
For disabling non_same_filled handling, it was added when the compressed
pages in zswap were not being properly charged to memcgs, as workloads
could escape the accounting with compression [2]. This is no longer the
case after commit

mm/mempolicy: introduce MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE for weighted interleaving
When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
using the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such as
socket-attached DRAM and CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, the round-robin based
interleave policy does not optimally distribute data to make use of their
different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, interleave is more effective when the allocation policy follows
each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than a simple 1:1 distribution.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE,
enabling weighted interleave between NUMA nodes. Weighted interleave
allows for proportional distribution of memory across multiple numa nodes,
preferably apportioned to match the bandwidth of each node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the appropriate weight
distribution is (2:1).
Weights for each node can be assigned via the new sysfs extension:
/sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
For now, the default value of all nodes will be `1`, which matches the
behavior of standard 1:1 round-robin interleave. An extension will be
added in the future to allow default values to be registered at kernel and
device bringup time.
The policy allocates a number of pages equal to the set weights. For
example, if the weights are (2,1), then 2 pages will be allocated on node0
for every 1 page allocated on node1.
The new flag MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE can be used in set_mempolicy(2)
and mbind(2).
Some high level notes about the pieces of weighted interleave:
current->il_prev:
Tracks the node previously allocated from.
current->il_weight:
The active weight of the current node (current->il_prev)
When this reaches 0, current->il_prev is set to the next node
and current->il_weight is set to the next weight.
weighted_interleave_nodes:
Counts the number of allocations as they occur, and applies the
weight for the current node. When the weight reaches 0, switch
to the next node. Operates only on task->mempolicy.
weighted_interleave_nid:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the node based on the given index.
Operates on VMA policies.
bulk_array_weighted_interleave:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the number of "interleave rounds" as
well as any delta ("partial round"). Calculates the number of
pages for each node and allocates them.
If a node was scheduled for interleave via interleave_nodes, the
current weight will be allocated first.
Operates only on the task->mempolicy.
One piece of complexity is the interaction between a recent refactor which
split the logic to acquire the "ilx" (interleave index) of an allocation
and the actually application of the interleave. If a call to
alloc_pages_mpol() were made with a weighted-interleave policy and ilx set
to NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX, weighted_interleave_nodes() would operate on a VMA
policy - violating the description above.
An inspection of all callers of alloc_pages_mpol() shows that all external
callers set ilx to `0`, an index value, or will call get_vma_policy() to
acquire the ilx.
For example, mm/shmem.c may call into alloc_pages_mpol. The call stacks
all set (pgoff_t ilx) or end up in `get_vma_policy()`. This enforces the
`weighted_interleave_nodes()` and `weighted_interleave_nid()` policy
requirements (task/vma respectively).

zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap writeback disabling
During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to save memory and improve performance where possible. This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called). This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its parent. Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself consumes swap space in its current form). This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/ as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap writebacks. For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal. Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background workloads. For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times (doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.): zswap.writeback disabled: real 0m30.537s user 0m23.687s sys 0m6.637s 0 pages swapped in 0 pages swapped out zswap.writeback enabled: real 0m45.061s user 0m24.310s sys 0m8.892s 712686 pages swapped in 461093 pages swapped out (the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

userfaultfd: UFFDIO_MOVE uABI
Implement the uABI of UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl. UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application needs pages to be allocated [1]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy (done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to the kernel [2]. We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting thread's completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads). More details of the usecase are explained in [2]. Furthermore, UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without touching them within the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap, however it forces splitting the vma. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/1425575884-2574-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CA+EESO4uO84SSnBhArH4HvLNhaUQ5nZKNKXqxRCyjniNVjp0Aw@mail.gmail.com/ Update for the ioctl_userfaultfd(2) manpage: UFFDIO_MOVE (Since Linux xxx) Move a continuous memory chunk into the userfault registered range and optionally wake up the blocked thread. The source and destination addresses and the number of bytes to move are specified by the src, dst, and len fields of the uffdio_move structure pointed to by argp: struct uffdio_move { __u64 dst; /* Destination of move */ __u64 src; /* Source of move */ __u64 len; /* Number of bytes to move */ __u64 mode; /* Flags controlling behavior of move */ __s64 move; /* Number of bytes moved, or negated error */ }; The following value may be bitwise ORed in mode to change the behavior of the UFFDIO_MOVE operation: UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_DONTWAKE Do not wake up the thread that waits for page-fault resolution UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES Allow holes in the source virtual range that is being moved. When not specified, the holes will result in ENOENT error. When specified, the holes will be accounted as successfully moved memory. This is mostly useful to move hugepage aligned virtual regions without knowing if there are transparent hugepages in the regions or not, but preventing the risk of having to split the hugepage during the operation. The move field is used by the kernel to return the number of bytes that was actually moved, or an error (a negated errno- style value). If the value returned in move doesn't match the value that was specified in len, the operation fails with the error EAGAIN. The move field is output-only; it is not read by the UFFDIO_MOVE operation. The operation may fail for various reasons. Usually, remapping of pages that are not exclusive to the given process fail; once KSM might deduplicate pages or fork() COW-shares pages during fork() with child processes, they are no longer exclusive. Further, the kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the pages are exclusive, and return -EBUSY in case that check fails. To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source VMA before fork(). This ioctl(2) operation returns 0 on success. In this case, the entire area was moved. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. Possible errors include: EAGAIN The number of bytes moved (i.e., the value returned in the move field) does not equal the value that was specified in the len field. EINVAL Either dst or len was not a multiple of the system page size, or the range specified by src and len or dst and len was invalid. EINVAL An invalid bit was specified in the mode field. ENOENT The source virtual memory range has unmapped holes and UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES is not set. EEXIST The destination virtual memory range is fully or partially mapped. EBUSY The pages in the source virtual memory range are either pinned or not exclusive to the process. The kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the pages are exclusive. To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source virtual memory area before fork(). ENOMEM Allocating memory needed for the operation failed. ESRCH The target process has exited at the time of a UFFDIO_MOVE operation.
