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.

Building the kernel on s390 with -Og produces the following warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x28dabe): Section mismatch in reference from the function populate_section_memmap() to the function .meminit.text:__populate_section_memmap()
The function populate_section_memmap() references
the function __meminit __populate_section_memmap().
This is often because populate_section_memmap lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of __populate_section_memmap is wrong.
While -Og is not supported, in theory this might still happen with
another compiler or on another architecture. So fix this by using the
correct section annotations.

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
check in arch_add_memory")

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()
..................
}
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11127623/
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.

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.

Fix this by adding a pud_trans_unstable() function similar to

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.

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.

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%.

Before commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma
hierarchy"), anon_vma_clone() doesn't change dst->anon_vma. While after
this commit, anon_vma_clone() will try to reuse an exist one on forking.
But this commit go a little bit further for the case not forking.
anon_vma_clone() is called from __vma_split(), __split_vma(), copy_vma()
and anon_vma_fork(). For the first three places, the purpose here is
get a copy of src and we don't expect to touch dst->anon_vma even it is
NULL.
While after that commit, it is possible to reuse an anon_vma when
dst->anon_vma is NULL. This is not we intend to have.
This patch stops reuse of anon_vma for non-fork cases.

When prev is NULL, this means vma should be the first element in the list.
Then next should be current first one (mm->mmap), no matter whether we

Currently __vma_unlink_common handles two cases:
* has_prev
* or not
When has_prev is false, it is obvious prev is calculated from
vma->vm_prev in __vma_unlink_common.
When has_prev is true, the prev is passed through from __vma_unlink_prev
in __vma_adjust for non-case 8. And at the beginning next is calculated
from vma->vm_next, which implies vma is next->vm_prev.
The above statement sounds a little complicated, while to think in
another point of view, no matter whether vma and next is swapped, the
mmap link list still preserves its property. It is proper to access
vma->vm_prev.

This is a very slow operation. Right now POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED is the top
user because it has to freeze page references when removing it from the
cache. invalidate_bdev() calls it for the same reason. Both are
triggered from userspace, so it's easy to generate a storm.
mlock/mlockall no longer calls lru_add_drain_all - I've seen here
serious slowdown on older kernels.
There are some less obvious paths in memory migration/CMA/offlining
which shouldn't call frequently.
The worst case requires a non-trivial workload because
lru_add_drain_all() skips cpus where vectors are empty. Something must
constantly generate a flow of pages for each cpu. Also cpus must be
busy to make scheduling per-cpu works slower. And the machine must be
big enough (64+ cpus in our case).
In our case that was a massive series of mlock calls in map-reduce while
other tasks write logs (and generates flows of new pages in per-cpu
vectors). Mlock calls were serialized by mutex and accumulated latency
up to 10 seconds or more.
The kernel does not call lru_add_drain_all on mlock paths since 4.15,
but the same scenario could be triggered by fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED)
or any other remaining user.
There is no reason to do the drain again if somebody else already
drained all the per-cpu vectors while we waited for the lock.
Piggyback on a drain starting and finishing while we wait for the lock:
all pages pending at the time of our entry were drained from the
vectors.
Callers like POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED retry their operations once after
draining per-cpu vectors when pages have unexpected references.

remove_next is assigned to be (1 + end > next->vm_end). This means if

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

Useful to track how RSS is changing per TGID to detect spikes in RSS and
memory hogs. Several Android teams have been using this patch in
various kernel trees for half a year now. Many reported to me it is
really useful so I'm posting it upstream.
Initial patch developed by Tim Murray. Changes I made from original
patch: o Prevent any additional space consumed by mm_struct.
Regarding the fact that the RSS may change too often thus flooding the
traces - note that, there is some "hysterisis" with this already. That
is - We update the counter only if we receive 64 page faults due to
SPLIT_RSS_ACCOUNTING. However, during zapping or copying of pte range,
the RSS is updated immediately which can become noisy/flooding. In a
previous discussion, we agreed that BPF or ftrace can be used to rate
limit the signal if this becomes an issue.
Also note that I added wrappers to trace_rss_stat to prevent compiler
errors where linux/mm.h is included from tracing code, causing errors

One of our services is observing hanging ps/top/etc under heavy write
IO, and the task states show this is an mmap_sem priority inversion:
A write fault is holding the mmap_sem in read-mode and waiting for
(heavily cgroup-limited) IO in balance_dirty_pages():
balance_dirty_pages+0x724/0x905
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited+0x254/0x390
fault_dirty_shared_page.isra.96+0x4a/0x90
do_wp_page+0x33e/0x400
__handle_mm_fault+0x6f0/0xfa0
handle_mm_fault+0xe4/0x200
__do_page_fault+0x22b/0x4a0
page_fault+0x45/0x50
Somebody tries to change the address space, contending for the mmap_sem in
write-mode:
call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable+0x13/0x20
do_mprotect_pkey+0xa8/0x330
SyS_mprotect+0xf/0x20
do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x100
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2
The waiting writer locks out all subsequent readers to avoid lock
starvation, and several threads can be seen hanging like this:
call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x14/0x30
proc_pid_cmdline_read+0xa0/0x480
__vfs_read+0x23/0x140
vfs_read+0x87/0x130
SyS_read+0x42/0x90
do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x100
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2
To fix this, do what we do for cache read faults already: drop the
mmap_sem before calling into anything IO bound, in this case the
balance_dirty_pages() function, and return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

This has confused a significant number of people using cgroups inside
Facebook, and some of those outside as well judging by posts like
this[0] (although it's not a problem unique to cgroup v2).
If shmem handling in particular becomes more coherent at some point in
the future -- although that seems unlikely now -- we can change the
wording here.

Since commit 1ba6fc9af3 ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration
between reclaimers"), the memcg reclaim does not bail out earlier based
on sc->nr_reclaimed and will traverse all the nodes. All the
reclaimable pages of the memcg on all the nodes will be scanned relative
to the reclaim priority. So, there is no need to maintain state
regarding which node to start the memcg reclaim from.
This patch effectively reverts the commit 889976dbcb ("memcg: reclaim
memory from nodes in round-robin order") and commit 453a9bf347
("memcg: fix numa scan information update to be triggered by memory
event").

Setting a memory.high limit below the usage makes almost no effort to
shrink the cgroup to the new target size.
While memory.high is a "soft" limit that isn't supposed to cause OOM
situations, we should still try harder to meet a user request through
persistent reclaim.
For example, after setting a 10M memory.high on an 800M cgroup full of
file cache, the usage shrinks to about 350M:
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
841568256
+ echo 10M
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
355729408
This isn't exactly what the user would expect to happen. Setting the
value a few more times eventually whittles the usage down to what we
are asking for:
+ echo 10M
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
104181760
+ echo 10M
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
31801344
+ echo 10M
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
10440704
To improve this, add reclaim retry loops to the memory.high write()
callback, similar to what we do for memory.max, to make a reasonable
effort that the usage meets the requested size after the call returns.
Afterwards, a single write() to memory.high is enough in all but extreme
cases:
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
841609216
+ echo 10M
+ cat /cgroup/workingset/memory.current
10182656
790M is not a reasonable reclaim target to ask of a single reclaim
invocation. And it wouldn't be reasonable to optimize the reclaim code
for it. So asking for the full size but retrying is not a bad choice
here: we express our intent, and benefit if reclaim becomes better at
handling larger requests, but we also acknowledge that some of the
deltas we can encounter in memory_high_write() are just too ridiculously
big for a single reclaim invocation to manage.

When the reclaim loop in memory_max_write() is ^C'd or similar, we set err
to -EINTR. But we don't return err. Once the limit is set, we always
return success (nbytes). Delete the dead code.

The mem_cgroup_reclaim_cookie is only used in memcg softlimit reclaim now,
and the priority of the reclaim is always 0. We don't need to define the
iter in struct mem_cgroup_per_node as an array any more. That could make
the code more clear and save some space.

A zoned block device consists of a number of zones. Zones are either
conventional and accepting random writes or sequential and requiring
that writes be issued in LBA order from each zone write pointer
position. For the write restriction, zoned block devices are not
suitable for a swap device. Disallow swapon on them.

check_and_migrate_cma_pages() was recording the result of
__get_user_pages_locked() in an unsigned "nr_pages" variable.
Because __get_user_pages_locked() returns a signed value that can
include negative errno values, this had the effect of hiding errors.
Change check_and_migrate_cma_pages() implementation so that it uses a
signed variable instead, and propagates the results back to the caller
just as other gup internal functions do.
This was discovered with the help of unsigned_lesser_than_zero.cocci.
