mm, swap: fix allocation and scanning race with swapoff
There are two flags used to synchronize allocation and scanning with swapoff: SWP_WRITEOK and SWP_SCANNING. SWP_WRITEOK: Swapoff will first unset this flag, at this point any further swap allocation or scanning on this device should just abort so no more new entries will be referencing this device. Swapoff will then unuse all existing swap entries. SWP_SCANNING: This flag is set when device is being scanned. Swapoff will wait for all scanner to stop before the final release of the swap device structures to avoid UAF. Note this flag is the highest used bit of si->flags so it could be added up arithmetically, if there are multiple scanner. commit |

The syzbot console output indicates a virtual environment where swapfile
is on a rotational device. In this case, clusters aren't actually used,
and si->full_clusters is not initialized. Daan's report is from qemu, so
likely rotational too.
Make sure to only schedule the cluster reclaim work when clusters are
actually in use.

mm, swap: avoid over reclaim of full clusters
When running low on usable slots, cluster allocator will try to reclaim
the full clusters aggressively to reclaim HAS_CACHE slots. This
guarantees that as long as there are any usable slots, HAS_CACHE or not,
the swap device will be usable and workload won't go OOM early.
Before the cluster allocator, swap allocator fails easily if device is
filled up with reclaimable HAS_CACHE slots. Which can be easily
reproduced with following simple program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <linux/mman.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define SIZE 8192UL * 1024UL * 1024UL
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
long tmp;
char *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset(p, 0, SIZE);
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
for (unsigned long i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i)
tmp += p[i];
getchar(); /* Pause */
return 0;
}
Setup an 8G non ramdisk swap, the first run of the program will swapout 8G
ram successfully. But run same program again after the first run paused,
the second run can't swapout all 8G memory as now half of the swap device
is pinned by HAS_CACHE. There was a random scan in the old allocator that
may reclaim part of the HAS_CACHE by luck, but it's unreliable.
The new allocator's added reclaim of full clusters when device is low on
usable slots. But when multiple CPUs are seeing the device is low on
usable slots at the same time, they ran into a thundering herd problem.
This is an observable problem on large machine with mass parallel
workload, as full cluster reclaim is slower on large swap device and
higher number of CPUs will also make things worse.
Testing using a 128G ZRAM on a 48c96t system. When the swap device is
very close to full (eg. 124G / 128G), running build linux kernel with
make -j96 in a 1G memory cgroup will hung (not a softlockup though)
spinning in full cluster reclaim for about ~5min before go OOM.
To solve this, split the full reclaim into two parts:
- Instead of do a synchronous aggressively reclaim when device is low,
do only one aggressively reclaim when device is strictly full with a
kworker. This still ensures in worst case the device won't be unusable
because of HAS_CACHE slots.
- To avoid allocation (especially higher order) suffer from HAS_CACHE
filling up clusters and kworker not responsive enough, do one synchronous
scan every time the free list is drained, and only scan one cluster. This
is kind of similar to the random reclaim before, keeps the full clusters
rotated and has a minimal latency. This should provide a fair reclaim
strategy suitable for most workloads.

mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma
I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff. The
problem can be reproduced by the following steps:
1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:
mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)
We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
unuse_pud_range() by ftrace. And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
be freed because we lost it from page table. We can skip HugeTLB pages
for unuse_vma to fix it.

mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap
Patch series "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap", v8. As shown in the patch series that introduced the zswap same-filled optimization [1], 10-20% of the pages stored in zswap are same-filled. This is also observed across Meta's server fleet. By using VM counters in swap_writepage (not included in this patchseries) it was found that less than 1% of the same-filled pages to be swapped out are non-zero pages. For conventional swap setup (without zswap), rather than reading/writing these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, a bitmap can be used to mark these pages as zero at write time, and the pages can be filled at read time if the bit corresponding to the page is set. When using zswap with swap, this also means that a zswap_entry does not need to be allocated for zero filled pages resulting in memory savings which would offset the memory used for the bitmap. A similar attempt was made earlier in [2] where zswap would only track zero-filled pages instead of same-filled. This patchseries adds zero-filled pages optimization to swap (hence it can be used even if zswap is disabled) and removes the same-filled code from zswap (as only 1% of the same-filled pages are non-zero), simplifying code.

Rather than reading/writing these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, a bitmap can be used to mark these pages as zero at write time, and the pages can be filled at read time if the bit corresponding to the page is set. With this patch, NVMe writes in Meta server fleet decreased by almost 10% with conventional swap setup (zswap disabled).

mm: swapfile: fix SSD detection with swapfile on btrfs
We've been noticing a trend of significant lock contention in the swap subsystem as core counts have been increasing in our fleet. It turns out that our swapfiles on btrfs on flash were in fact using the old swap code for rotational storage. This turns out to be a detection issue in the swapon sequence: btrfs sets si->bdev during swap activation, which currently happens *after* swapon's SSD detection and cluster setup. Thus, none of the SSD optimizations and cluster lock splitting are enabled for btrfs swap. Rearrange the swapon sequence so that filesystem activation happens *before* determining swap behavior based on the backing device. Afterwards, the nonrotational drive is detected correctly: - Adding 2097148k swap on /mnt/swapfile. Priority:-3 extents:1 across:2097148k + Adding 2097148k swap on /mnt/swapfile.

mm: swap: extend swap_shmem_alloc() to support batch SWAP_MAP_SHMEM flag setting
Patch series "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem", v5. Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large folios when trying to swap-out shmem, which may lead to the memory fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for shmeme. Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio without split, and large folio swap-in[3] series is queued into mm-unstable branch. Hence this patch set also supports the large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem. This patch (of 9): To support shmem large folio swap operations, add a new parameter to swap_shmem_alloc() that allows batch SWAP_MAP_SHMEM flag setting for shmem swap entries. While we are at it, using folio_nr_pages() to get the number of pages of the folio as a preparation.

mm: attempt to batch free swap entries for zap_pte_range()
Zhiguo reported that swap release could be a serious bottleneck during
process exits[1]. With mTHP, we have the opportunity to batch free swaps.
Thanks to the work of Chris and Kairui[2], I was able to achieve this
optimization with minimal code changes by building on their efforts.
If swap_count is 1, which is likely true as most anon memory are private,
we can free all contiguous swap slots all together.
Ran the below test program for measuring the bandwidth of munmap
using zRAM and 64KiB mTHP:
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
unsigned long long tv_to_ms(struct timeval tv)
{
return tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
}
main()
{
struct timeval tv_b, tv_e;
int i;
#define SIZE 1024*1024*1024
void *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (!p) {
perror("fail to get memory");
exit(-1);
}
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
memset(p, 0x11, SIZE); /* write to get mem */
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
gettimeofday(&tv_b, NULL);
munmap(p, SIZE);
gettimeofday(&tv_e, NULL);
printf("munmap in bandwidth: %ld bytes/ms\n",
SIZE/(tv_to_ms(tv_e) - tv_to_ms(tv_b)));
}
The result is as below (munmap bandwidth):
mm-unstable mm-unstable-with-patch
round1 21053761 63161283
round2 21053761 63161283
round3 21053761 63161283
round4 20648881 67108864
round5 20648881 67108864
munmap bandwidth becomes 3X faster.

mm: swap: add a adaptive full cluster cache reclaim
Link all full cluster with one full list, and reclaim from it when the allocation have ran out of all usable clusters. There are many reason a folio can end up being in the swap cache while having no swap count reference. So the best way to search for such slots is still by iterating the swap clusters. With the list as an LRU, iterating from the oldest cluster and keep them rotating is a very doable and clean way to free up potentially not inuse clusters. When any allocation failure, try reclaim and rotate only one cluster. This is adaptive for high order allocations they can tolerate fallback. So this avoids latency, and give the full cluster list an fair chance to get reclaimed. It release the usage stress for the fallback order 0 allocation or following up high order allocation. If the swap device is getting very full, reclaim more aggresively to ensure no OOM will happen. This ensures order 0 heavy workload won't go OOM as order 0 won't fail if any cluster still have any space.

mm: swap: relaim the cached parts that got scanned
This commit implements reclaim during scan for cluster allocator. Cluster scanning were unable to reuse SWAP_HAS_CACHE slots, which could result in low allocation success rate or early OOM. So to ensure maximum allocation success rate, integrate reclaiming with scanning. If found a range of suitable swap slots but fragmented due to HAS_CACHE, just try to reclaim the slots.

mm: swap: add a fragment cluster list
Now swap cluster allocator arranges the clusters in LRU style, so the "cold" cluster stay at the head of nonfull lists are the ones that were used for allocation long time ago and still partially occupied. So if allocator can't find enough contiguous slots to satisfy an high order allocation, it's unlikely there will be slot being free on them to satisfy the allocation, at least in a short period. As a result, nonfull cluster scanning will waste time repeatly scanning the unusable head of the list. Also, multiple CPUs could content on the same head cluster of nonfull list. Unlike free clusters which are removed from the list when any CPU starts using it, nonfull cluster stays on the head. So introduce a new list frag list, all scanned nonfull clusters will be moved to this list. Both for avoiding repeated scanning and contention. Frag list is still used as fallback for allocations, so if one CPU failed to allocate one order of slots, it can still steal other CPU's clusters. And order 0 will favor the fragmented clusters to better protect nonfull clusters If any slots on a fragment list are being freed, move the fragment list back to nonfull list indicating it worth another scan on the cluster. Compared to scan upon freeing a slot, this keep the scanning lazy and save some CPU if there are still other clusters to use. It may seems unneccessay to keep the fragmented cluster on list at all if they can't be used for specific order allocation. But this will start to make sense once reclaim dring scanning is ready.

mm: swap: allow cache reclaim to skip slot cache
Currently we free the reclaimed slots through slot cache even if the slot is required to be empty immediately. As a result the reclaim caller will see the slot still occupied even after a successful reclaim, and need to keep reclaiming until slot cache get flushed. This caused ineffective or over reclaim when SWAP is under stress. So introduce a new flag allowing the slot to be emptied bypassing the slot cache.

mm: swap: skip slot cache on freeing for mTHP
Currently when we are freeing mTHP folios from swap cache, we free then one by one and put each entry into swap slot cache. Slot cache is designed to reduce the overhead by batching the freeing, but mTHP swap entries are already continuous so they can be batch freed without it already, it saves litle overhead, or even increase overhead for larger mTHP. What's more, mTHP entries could stay in swap cache for a while. Contiguous swap entry is an rather rare resource so releasing them directly can help improve mTHP allocation success rate when under pressure.

mm: swap: separate SSD allocation from scan_swap_map_slots()
Previously the SSD and HDD share the same swap_map scan loop in scan_swap_map_slots(). This function is complex and hard to flow the execution flow. scan_swap_map_try_ssd_cluster() can already do most of the heavy lifting to locate the candidate swap range in the cluster. However it needs to go back to scan_swap_map_slots() to check conflict and then perform the allocation. When scan_swap_map_try_ssd_cluster() failed, it still depended on the scan_swap_map_slots() to do brute force scanning of the swap_map. When the swapfile is large and almost full, it will take some CPU time to go through the swap_map array. Get rid of the cluster allocation dependency on the swap_map scan loop in scan_swap_map_slots(). Streamline the cluster allocation code path. No more conflict checks. For order 0 swap entry, when run out of free and nonfull list. It will allocate from the higher order nonfull cluster list. Users should see less CPU time spent on searching the free swap slot when swapfile is almost full.

mm: swap: mTHP allocate swap entries from nonfull list
Track the nonfull cluster as well as the empty cluster on lists. Each order has one nonfull cluster list. The cluster will remember which order it was used during new cluster allocation. When the cluster has free entry, add to the nonfull[order] list. When the free cluster list is empty, also allocate from the nonempty list of that order. This improves the mTHP swap allocation success rate. There are limitations if the distribution of numbers of different orders of mTHP changes a lot. e.g. there are a lot of nonfull cluster assign to order A while later time there are a lot of order B allocation while very little allocation in order A. Currently the cluster used by order A will not reused by order B unless the cluster is 100% empty.

The unuse_pte_range() caller only wants the folio while do_swap_page() wants both the page and the folio. Since do_swap_page() already has logic for handling both the folio and the page, move the folio-to-page logic there. This also lets us allocate larger folios in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path in future.

Right now, swapcache_prepare() and swapcache_clear() supports one entry only, to support large folios, we need to handle multiple swap entries.

mm: use folio_add_new_anon_rmap() if folio_test_anon(folio)==false
For the !folio_test_anon(folio) case, we can now invoke
folio_add_new_anon_rmap() with the rmap flags set to either EXCLUSIVE or
non-EXCLUSIVE. This action will suppress the VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO check
within __folio_add_anon_rmap() while initiating the process of bringing up
mTHP swapin.
static __always_inline void __folio_add_anon_rmap(struct folio *folio,
struct page *page, int nr_pages, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long address, rmap_t flags, enum rmap_level level)
{
...
if (unlikely(!folio_test_anon(folio))) {
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(folio_test_large(folio) &&
level != RMAP_LEVEL_PMD, folio);
}
...
}
It also improves the code's readability. Currently, all new anonymous
folios calling folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes() are order-0. This ensures that
new folios cannot be partially exclusive; they are either entirely
exclusive or entirely shared.
A useful comment from Hugh's fix:
: Commit "mm: use folio_add_new_anon_rmap() if folio_test_anon(folio)==
: false" has extended folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to use on non-exclusive
: folios, already visible to others in swap cache and on LRU.
:
: That renders its non-atomic __folio_set_swapbacked() unsafe: it risks
: overwriting concurrent atomic operations on folio->flags, losing bits
: added or restoring bits cleared. Since it's only used in this risky way
: when folio_test_locked and !folio_test_anon, many such races are excluded;
: but, for example, isolations by folio_test_clear_lru() are vulnerable, and
: setting or clearing active.
:
: It could just use the atomic folio_set_swapbacked(); but this function
: does try to avoid atomics where it can, so use a branch instead: just
: avoid setting swapbacked when it is already set, that is good enough.
: (Swapbacked is normally stable once set: lazyfree can undo it, but only
: later, when found anon in a page table.)
:
: This fixes a lot of instability under compaction and swapping loads:
: assorted "Bad page"s, VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO()s, apparently even page double
: frees - though I've not worked out what races could lead to the latter.

mm: extend rmap flags arguments for folio_add_new_anon_rmap
Patch series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()", v2. This patchset is preparatory work for mTHP swapin. folio_add_new_anon_rmap() assumes that new anon rmaps are always exclusive. However, this assumption doesn’t hold true for cases like do_swap_page(), where a new anon might be added to the swapcache and is not necessarily exclusive. The patchset extends the rmap flags to allow folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to handle both exclusive and non-exclusive new anon folios. The do_swap_page() function is updated to use this extended API with rmap flags. Consequently, all new anon folios now consistently use folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). The special case for !folio_test_anon() in __folio_add_anon_rmap() can be safely removed. In conclusion, new anon folios always use folio_add_new_anon_rmap(), regardless of exclusivity. Old anon folios continue to use __folio_add_anon_rmap() via folio_add_anon_rmap_pmd() and folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes(). This patch (of 3): In the case of a swap-in, a new anonymous folio is not necessarily exclusive. This patch updates the rmap flags to allow a new anonymous folio to be treated as either exclusive or non-exclusive. To maintain the existing behavior, we always use EXCLUSIVE as the default setting.

mm: remove the implementation of swap_free() and always use swap_free_nr()
To streamline maintenance efforts, we propose removing the implementation of swap_free(). Instead, we can simply invoke swap_free_nr() with nr set to 1. swap_free_nr() is designed with a bitmap consisting of only one long, resulting in overhead that can be ignored for cases where nr equals 1. A prime candidate for leveraging swap_free_nr() lies within kernel/power/swap.c. Implementing this change facilitates the adoption of batch processing for hibernation.

mm: swap: introduce swap_free_nr() for batched swap_free()
Patch series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", v5. This patchset is extracted from the large folio swapin series[1], primarily addressing the handling of scenarios involving large folios in the swap cache. Currently, it is particularly focused on addressing the refaulting of mTHP, which is still undergoing reclamation. This approach aims to streamline code review and expedite the integration of this segment into the MM tree. It relies on Ryan's swap-out series[2], leveraging the helper function swap_pte_batch() introduced by that series. Presently, do_swap_page only encounters a large folio in the swap cache before the large folio is released by vmscan. However, the code should remain equally useful once we support large folio swap-in via swapin_readahead(). This approach can effectively reduce page faults and eliminate most redundant checks and early exits for MTE restoration in recent MTE patchset[3]. The large folio swap-in for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO and swapin_readahead() will be split into separate patch sets and sent at a later time. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240304081348.197341-1-21cnbao@gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240408183946.2991168-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240322114136.61386-1-21cnbao@gmail.com/ This patch (of 6): While swapping in a large folio, we need to free swaps related to the whole folio. To avoid frequently acquiring and releasing swap locks, it is better to introduce an API for batched free. Furthermore, this new function, swap_free_nr(), is designed to efficiently handle various scenarios for releasing a specified number, nr, of swap entries.

mm/swap: reduce swap cache search space
Currently we use one swap_address_space for every 64M chunk to reduce lock contention, this is like having a set of smaller swap files inside one swap device. But when doing swap cache look up or insert, we are still using the offset of the whole large swap device. This is OK for correctness, as the offset (key) is unique. But Xarray is specially optimized for small indexes, it creates the radix tree levels lazily to be just enough to fit the largest key stored in one Xarray. So we are wasting tree nodes unnecessarily. For 64M chunk it should only take at most 3 levels to contain everything. But if we are using the offset from the whole swap device, the offset (key) value will be way beyond 64M, and so will the tree level. Optimize this by using a new helper swap_cache_index to get a swap entry's unique offset in its own 64M swap_address_space. I see a ~1% performance gain in benchmark and actual workload with high memory pressure. Test with `time memhog 128G` inside a 8G memcg using 128G swap (ramdisk with SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO dropped, tested 3 times, results are stable. The test result is similar but the improvement is smaller if SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is enabled, as swap out path can never skip swap cache): Before: 6.07user 250.74system 4:17.26elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8373376maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (55major+33555018minor)pagefaults 0swaps After (1.8% faster): 6.08user 246.09system 4:12.58elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8373248maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (54major+33555027minor)pagefaults 0swaps Similar result with MySQL and sysbench using swap: Before: 94055.61 qps After (0.8% faster): 94834.91 qps Radix tree slab usage is also very slightly lower.

mm/swapfile: mark racy access on si->highest_bit
In scan_swap_map_slots(), si->highest_bit can by changed by swap_range_alloc() concurrently. All reads on si->highest_bit except one is either protected by lock or read using READ_ONCE. So mark the one racy read on si->highest_bit as benign using READ_ONCE. This patch is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.

During reviewing a patch to fix the race condition between free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff() [1], it was found that the document about how to prevent racing with swapoff isn't clear enough.

mm: swap: allow storage of all mTHP orders
Multi-size THP enables performance improvements by allocating large, pte-mapped folios for anonymous memory. However I've observed that on an arm64 system running a parallel workload (e.g. kernel compilation) across many cores, under high memory pressure, the speed regresses. This is due to bottlenecking on the increased number of TLBIs added due to all the extra folio splitting when the large folios are swapped out. Therefore, solve this regression by adding support for swapping out mTHP without needing to split the folio, just like is already done for PMD-sized THP. This change only applies when CONFIG_THP_SWAP is enabled, and when the swap backing store is a non-rotating block device. These are the same constraints as for the existing PMD-sized THP swap-out support. Note that no attempt is made to swap-in (m)THP here - this is still done page-by-page, like for PMD-sized THP. But swapping-out mTHP is a prerequisite for swapping-in mTHP. The main change here is to improve the swap entry allocator so that it can allocate any power-of-2 number of contiguous entries between [1, (1 << PMD_ORDER)]. This is done by allocating a cluster for each distinct order and allocating sequentially from it until the cluster is full. This ensures that we don't need to search the map and we get no fragmentation due to alignment padding for different orders in the cluster. If there is no current cluster for a given order, we attempt to allocate a free cluster from the list. If there are no free clusters, we fail the allocation and the caller can fall back to splitting the folio and allocates individual entries (as per existing PMD-sized THP fallback). The per-order current clusters are maintained per-cpu using the existing infrastructure. This is done to avoid interleving pages from different tasks, which would prevent IO being batched. This is already done for the order-0 allocations so we follow the same pattern. As is done for order-0 per-cpu clusters, the scanner now can steal order-0 entries from any per-cpu-per-order reserved cluster. This ensures that when the swap file is getting full, space doesn't get tied up in the per-cpu reserves. This change only modifies swap to be able to accept any order mTHP. It doesn't change the callers to elide doing the actual split. That will be done in separate changes.

We are about to allow swap storage of any mTHP size. To prepare for that, let's change get_swap_pages() to take a folio order parameter instead of nr_pages. This makes the interface self-documenting; a power-of-2 number of pages must be provided. We will also need the order internally so this simplifies accessing it.

mm: swap: simplify struct percpu_cluster
struct percpu_cluster stores the index of cpu's current cluster and the offset of the next entry that will be allocated for the cpu. These two pieces of information are redundant because the cluster index is just (offset / SWAPFILE_CLUSTER). The only reason for explicitly keeping the cluster index is because the structure used for it also has a flag to indicate "no cluster". However this data structure also contains a spin lock, which is never used in this context, as a side effect the code copies the spinlock_t structure, which is questionable coding practice in my view. So let's clean this up and store only the next offset, and use a sentinal value (SWAP_NEXT_INVALID) to indicate "no cluster". SWAP_NEXT_INVALID is chosen to be 0, because 0 will never be seen legitimately; The first page in the swap file is the swap header, which is always marked bad to prevent it from being allocated as an entry. This also prevents the cluster to which it belongs being marked free, so it will never appear on the free list. This change saves 16 bytes per cpu. And given we are shortly going to extend this mechanism to be per-cpu-AND-per-order, we will end up saving 16 * 9 = 144 bytes per cpu, which adds up if you have 256 cpus in the system.

mm: swap: free_swap_and_cache_nr() as batched free_swap_and_cache()
Now that we no longer have a convenient flag in the cluster to determine if a folio is large, free_swap_and_cache() will take a reference and lock a large folio much more often, which could lead to contention and (e.g.) failure to split large folios, etc. Let's solve that problem by batch freeing swap and cache with a new function, free_swap_and_cache_nr(), to free a contiguous range of swap entries together. This allows us to first drop a reference to each swap slot before we try to release the cache folio. This means we only try to release the folio once, only taking the reference and lock once - much better than the previous 512 times for the 2M THP case. Contiguous swap entries are gathered in zap_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range() in a similar way to how present ptes are already gathered in zap_pte_range(). While we are at it, let's simplify by converting the return type of both functions to void. The return value was used only by zap_pte_range() to print a bad pte, and was ignored by everyone else, so the extra reporting wasn't exactly guaranteed. We will still get the warning with most of the information from get_swap_device(). With the batch version, we wouldn't know which pte was bad anyway so could print the wrong one.

mm: swap: remove CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE from swap_cluster_info:flags
Patch series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting", v7.
This series adds support for swapping out multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(). It closely follows the approach
already used to swap-out PMD-sized THP.
There are a couple of reasons for swapping out mTHP without splitting:
- Performance: It is expensive to split a large folio and under
extreme memory pressure some workloads regressed performance when
using 64K mTHP vs 4K small folios because of this extra cost in the
swap-out path. This series not only eliminates the regression but
makes it faster to swap out 64K mTHP vs 4K small folios.
- Memory fragmentation avoidance: If we can avoid splitting a large
folio memory is less likely to become fragmented, making it easier to
re-allocate a large folio in future.
- Performance: Enables a separate series [7] to swap-in whole mTHPs,
which means we won't lose the TLB-efficiency benefits of mTHP once the
memory has been through a swap cycle.
I've done what I thought was the smallest change possible, and as a
result, this approach is only employed when the swap is backed by a
non-rotating block device (just as PMD-sized THP is supported today).
Discussion against the RFC concluded that this is sufficient.
Performance Testing
===================
I've run some swap performance tests on Ampere Altra VM (arm64) with 8
CPUs. The VM is set up with a 35G block ram device as the swap device and
the test is run from inside a memcg limited to 40G memory. I've then run
`usemem` from vm-scalability with 70 processes, each allocating and
writing 1G of memory. I've repeated everything 6 times and taken the mean
performance improvement relative to 4K page baseline:
| alloc size | baseline | + this series |
| | mm-unstable (~v6.9-rc1) | |
|:-----------|------------------------:|------------------------:|
| 4K Page | 0.0% | 1.3% |
| 64K THP | -13.6% | 46.3% |
| 2M THP | 91.4% | 89.6% |
So with this change, the 64K swap performance goes from a 14% regression to a
46% improvement. While 2M shows a small regression I'm confident that this is
just noise.

This patch (of 7):
As preparation for supporting small-sized THP in the swap-out path,
without first needing to split to order-0, Remove the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE,
which, when present, always implies PMD-sized THP, which is the same as
the cluster size.
The only use of the flag was to determine whether a swap entry refers to a
single page or a PMD-sized THP in swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). Instead
of relying on the flag, we now pass in order, which originates from the
folio's order. This allows the logic to work for folios of any order.
The one snag is that one of the swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() call sites
does not have the folio. But it was only being called there to shortcut a
call __try_to_reclaim_swap() in some cases. __try_to_reclaim_swap() gets
the folio and (via some other functions) calls
swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). So I've removed the problematic call site
and believe the new logic should be functionally equivalent.
That said, removing the fast path means that we will take a reference and
trylock a large folio much more often, which we would like to avoid. The
next patch will solve this.
Removing CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE also means we can remove split_swap_cluster()
which used to be called during folio splitting, since
split_swap_cluster()'s only job was to remove the flag.

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

mm: swap: fix race between free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff()
There was previously a theoretical window where swapoff() could run and
teardown a swap_info_struct while a call to free_swap_and_cache() was
running in another thread. This could cause, amongst other bad
possibilities, swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() (called by
free_swap_and_cache()) to access the freed memory for swap_map.
This is a theoretical problem and I haven't been able to provoke it from a
test case. But there has been agreement based on code review that this is
possible (see link below).
Fix it by using get_swap_device()/put_swap_device(), which will stall
swapoff(). There was an extra check in _swap_info_get() to confirm that
the swap entry was not free. This isn't present in get_swap_device()
because it doesn't make sense in general due to the race between getting
the reference and swapoff. So I've added an equivalent check directly in
free_swap_and_cache().
Details of how to provoke one possible issue (thanks to David Hildenbrand
for deriving this):
--8<-----
__swap_entry_free() might be the last user and result in
"count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE".
swapoff->try_to_unuse() will stop as soon as soon as si->inuse_pages==0.
So the question is: could someone reclaim the folio and turn
si->inuse_pages==0, before we completed swap_page_trans_huge_swapped().
Imagine the following: 2 MiB folio in the swapcache. Only 2 subpages are
still references by swap entries.
Process 1 still references subpage 0 via swap entry.
Process 2 still references subpage 1 via swap entry.
Process 1 quits. Calls free_swap_and_cache().
-> count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE
[then, preempted in the hypervisor etc.]
Process 2 quits. Calls free_swap_and_cache().
-> count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE
Process 2 goes ahead, passes swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(), and calls
__try_to_reclaim_swap().
__try_to_reclaim_swap()->folio_free_swap()->delete_from_swap_cache()->
put_swap_folio()->free_swap_slot()->swapcache_free_entries()->
swap_entry_free()->swap_range_free()->
...
WRITE_ONCE(si->inuse_pages, si->inuse_pages - nr_entries);
What stops swapoff to succeed after process 2 reclaimed the swap cache
but before process1 finished its call to swap_page_trans_huge_swapped()?

mm/swapfile:__swap_duplicate: drop redundant WRITE_ONCE on swap_map for err cases
The code is quite hard to read, we are still writing swap_map after errors happen. Though the written value is as before, has_cache = count & SWAP_HAS_CACHE; count &= ~SWAP_HAS_CACHE; [snipped] WRITE_ONCE(p->swap_map[offset], count | has_cache); It would be better to entirely drop the WRITE_ONCE for both performance and readability.

mm/zswap: invalidate zswap entry when swap entry free
During testing I found there are some times the zswap_writeback_entry()
return -ENOMEM, which is not we expected:
bpftrace -e 'kr:zswap_writeback_entry {@[(int32)retval]=count()}'
@[-12]: 1563
@[0]: 277221
The reason is that __read_swap_cache_async() return NULL because
swapcache_prepare() failed. The reason is that we won't invalidate zswap
entry when swap entry freed to the per-cpu pool, these zswap entries are
still on the zswap tree and lru list.
This patch moves the invalidation ahead to when swap entry freed to the
per-cpu pool, since there is no any benefit to leave trashy zswap entry on
the tree and lru list.
With this patch:
bpftrace -e 'kr:zswap_writeback_entry {@[(int32)retval]=count()}'
@[0]: 259744
Note: large folio can't have zswap entry for now, so don't bother
to add zswap entry invalidation in the large folio swap free path.

mm: swap: enforce updating inuse_pages at the end of swap_range_free()
Patch series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()", v2. These patches aim to simplify zswap_swapoff() by removing the unnecessary trees cleanup code. Patch 1 makes sure that the order of operations during swapoff is enforced correctly, making sure the simplification in patch 2 is correct in a future-proof manner. This patch (of 2): In swap_range_free(), we update inuse_pages then do some cleanups (arch invalidation, zswap invalidation, swap cache cleanups, etc). During swapoff, try_to_unuse() checks that inuse_pages is 0 to make sure all swap entries are freed. Make sure we only update inuse_pages after we are done with the cleanups in swap_range_free(), and use the proper memory barriers to enforce it. This makes sure that code following try_to_unuse() can safely assume that swap_range_free() ran for all entries in thr swapfile (e.g. swap cache cleanup, zswap_swapoff()). In practice, this currently isn't a problem because swap_range_free() is called with the swap info lock held, and the swapoff code happens to spin for that after try_to_unuse(). However, this seems fragile and unintentional, so make it more relable and future-proof. This also facilitates a following simplification of zswap_swapoff().

mm/zswap: split zswap rb-tree
Each swapfile has one rb-tree to search the mapping of swp_entry_t to
zswap_entry, that use a spinlock to protect, which can cause heavy lock
contention if multiple tasks zswap_store/load concurrently.
Optimize the scalability problem by splitting the zswap rb-tree into
multiple rb-trees, each corresponds to SWAP_ADDRESS_SPACE_PAGES (64M),
just like we did in the swap cache address_space splitting.
Although this method can't solve the spinlock contention completely, it
can mitigate much of that contention. Below is the results of kernel
build in tmpfs with zswap shrinker enabled:
linux-next zswap-lock-optimize
real 1m9.181s 1m3.820s
user 17m44.036s 17m40.100s
sys 7m37.297s 4m54.622s
So there are clearly improvements.

mm/zswap: make sure each swapfile always have zswap rb-tree
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree", v2.
When testing the zswap performance by using kernel build -j32 in a tmpfs
directory, I found the scalability of zswap rb-tree is not good, which is
protected by the only spinlock. That would cause heavy lock contention if
multiple tasks zswap_store/load concurrently.
So a simple solution is to split the only one zswap rb-tree into multiple
rb-trees, each corresponds to SWAP_ADDRESS_SPACE_PAGES (64M). This idea
is from the commit
