If there is private data attached to a THP, the refcount of THP will be
increased and will prevent the THP from being split. Attempt to release
any private data attached to the THP before attempting the split to
increase the chance of splitting successfully.
There was a memory failure issue hit during HW error injection testing
with 5.18 kernel + xfs as rootfs. The test was killed and a system reboot
was required to re-run the test.
The issue was tracked down to a THP split failure caused by the memory
failure not being handled. The page dump showed:
[ 1785.433075] page:0000000025f9530b refcount:18 mapcount:0 mapping:000000008162eea7 index:0xa10 pfn:0x2f0200

It was like the error was injected to a large folio for xfs with private
data attached.
With private data released before splitting the THP, the test case could
be run successfully many times without rebooting the system.

When the pgtable is NULL in the set_huge_zero_page(), we should not
increment the count of PTE page table pages by calling mm_inc_nr_ptes().
Otherwise we may receive the following warning when the mm exits:
BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm
Now we can't observe the above warning since only
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() invokes set_huge_zero_page() and the pgtable
can not be NULL.
Therefore, instead of moving mm_inc_nr_ptes() to the non-NULL branch of
pgtable, it is better to remove the redundant pgtable check directly.

The below is one path where race between page_ext and offline of the
respective memory blocks will cause use-after-free on the access of
page_ext structure.
process1 process2
--------- ---------
a)doing /proc/page_owner doing memory offline
through offline_pages.
b) PageBuddy check is failed
thus proceed to get the
page_owner information
through page_ext access.
page_ext = lookup_page_ext(page);
migrate_pages();
.................
Since all pages are successfully
migrated as part of the offline
operation,send MEM_OFFLINE notification
where for page_ext it calls:
offline_page_ext()-->
__free_page_ext()-->
free_page_ext()-->
vfree(ms->page_ext)
mem_section->page_ext = NULL
c) Check for the PAGE_EXT
flags in the page_ext->flags
access results into the
use-after-free (leading to
the translation faults).
As mentioned above, there is really no synchronization between page_ext
access and its freeing in the memory_offline.
The memory offline steps(roughly) on a memory block is as below:
1) Isolate all the pages
2) while(1)
try free the pages to buddy.(->free_list[MIGRATE_ISOLATE])
3) delete the pages from this buddy list.
4) Then free page_ext.(Note: The struct page is still alive as it is
freed only during hot remove of the memory which frees the memmap,
which steps the user might not perform).
This design leads to the state where struct page is alive but the struct
page_ext is freed, where the later is ideally part of the former which
just representing the page_flags (check [3] for why this design is
chosen).
The abovementioned race is just one example __but the problem persists in
the other paths too involving page_ext->flags access(eg:
page_is_idle())__.
Fix all the paths where offline races with page_ext access by maintaining
synchronization with rcu lock and is achieved in 3 steps:
1) Invalidate all the page_ext's of the sections of a memory block by
storing a flag in the LSB of mem_section->page_ext.
2) Wait until all the existing readers to finish working with the
->page_ext's with synchronize_rcu(). Any parallel process that starts
after this call will not get page_ext, through lookup_page_ext(), for
the block parallel offline operation is being performed.
3) Now safely free all sections ->page_ext's of the block on which
offline operation is being performed.
Note: If synchronize_rcu() takes time then optimizations can be done in
this path through call_rcu()[2].

The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the
hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will
try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion
page.
If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval
is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be
decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages.
Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of
the candidate promotion pages.
To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total
number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the
hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are
scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't
uniform along the address usually, the statistics interval should be
larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan
period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node
via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by
the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.
A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added
for the users to specify the limit.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).

the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is
called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any longterm
pinned pages.
When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs
to be retried. This is indicated by returning zero. When all pages are
in the correct zone the number of pinned pages is returned.
However migration can also fail, in which case pages are unpinned and
-ENOMEM is returned. However if the failure was due to not being unable
to isolate a page zero is returned. This leads to indefinite looping in
__gup_longterm_locked().
Fix this by simplifying the return codes such that zero indicates all
pages were successfully pinned in the correct zone while errors indicate
either pages were migrated and pinning should be retried or that migration
has failed and therefore the pinning operation should fail.

By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is
up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after
expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios
we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub
objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for
allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the
probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by
other slab objects.
This patch introduces a sysfs interface
'/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific
slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact
current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for
specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is
taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced)
SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.

Not all huge page APIs support FOLL_GET option, so move_pages() syscall
will fail to get the page node information for some huge pages.
Like x86 on linux 5.19 with 1GB huge page API follow_huge_pud(), it will
return NULL page for FOLL_GET when calling move_pages() syscall with the
NULL 'nodes' parameter, the 'status' parameter has '-2' error in array.
Note: follow_huge_pud() now supports FOLL_GET in linux 6.0.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220714042420.1847125-3-naoya.horiguchi@linux.dev
But these huge page APIs don't support FOLL_GET:
1. follow_huge_pud() in arch/s390/mm/hugetlbpage.c
2. follow_huge_addr() in arch/ia64/mm/hugetlbpage.c
It will cause WARN_ON_ONCE for FOLL_GET.
3. follow_huge_pgd() in mm/hugetlb.c
This is an temporary solution to mitigate the side effect of the race
condition fix by calling follow_page() with FOLL_GET set for huge pages.
After supporting follow huge page by FOLL_GET is done, this fix can be
reverted safely.

The -f option is to filter out the information of blocks whose memory has
not been released, I noticed some blocks should not be filtered out.
Commit 9cc7e96aa8 ("mm/page_owner: record timestamp and pid") records
the allocation timestamp (ts_nsec) of all pages.
Commit 866b485262 ("mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages
during free") records the free timestamp (free_ts_nsec) of all pages.
When the page is allocated for the first time, the initial value of
free_ts_nsec is 0, and the corresponding time will be obtained when the
page is released. But during reallocation the free_ts_nsec will not reset
to 0 again. In particular, when page migration occurs, these two
timestamps will be the same.
Now page_owner_sort removes all text blocks whose free_ts_nsec is not 0
when using -f option. However, this way can only select pages allocated
for the first time. If a freed page is reallocated, free_ts_nsec will be
less than ts_nsec; if page migration occurs, the two timestamps will be
equal. These cases should be considered as pages are not released.
So I fix the function is_need() to keep text blocks that meet the above
two conditions when using -f option.

Muchun Song found that after MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy was introduced in
commit b27abaccf8 ("mm/mempolicy: add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for multiple
preferred nodes"), the policy_nodemask_current()'s semantics for this new
policy has been changed, which returns 'preferred' nodes instead of
'allowed' nodes.
With the changed semantic of policy_nodemask_current, a task with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy could fail to get its reservation even though
it can fall back to other nodes (either defined by cpusets or all online
nodes) for that reservation failing mmap calles unnecessarily early.
The fix is to not consider MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for reservations at all
because they, unlike MPOL_MBIND, do not pose any actual hard constrain.
Michal suggested the policy_nodemask_current() is only used by hugetlb,
and could be moved to hugetlb code with more explicit name to enforce the
'allowed' semantics for which only MPOL_BIND policy matters.
apply_policy_zone() is made extern to be called in hugetlb code and its
return value is changed to bool.

The mems_allowed field can be modified by other tasks, so it isn't safe to
access it with alloc_lock unlocked even in the current process context.
Say there are two tasks: A from cpusetA is performing set_mempolicy(2),
and B is changing cpusetA's cpuset.mems:
A (set_mempolicy) B (echo xx > cpuset.mems)
-------------------------------------------------------
pol = mpol_new();
update_tasks_nodemask(cpusetA) {
foreach t in cpusetA {
cpuset_change_task_nodemask(t) {
mpol_set_nodemask(pol) {
task_lock(t); // t could be A
new = f(A->mems_allowed);
update t->mems_allowed;
pol.create(pol, new);
task_unlock(t);
}
}
}
}
task_lock(A);
A->mempolicy = pol;
task_unlock(A);
In this case A's pol->nodes is computed by old mems_allowed, and could
be inconsistent with A's new mems_allowed.
While it is different when replacing vmas' policy: the pol->nodes is
gone wild only when current_cpuset_is_being_rebound():
A (mbind) B (echo xx > cpuset.mems)
-------------------------------------------------------
pol = mpol_new();
mmap_write_lock(A->mm);
cpuset_being_rebound = cpusetA;
update_tasks_nodemask(cpusetA) {
foreach t in cpusetA {
cpuset_change_task_nodemask(t) {
mpol_set_nodemask(pol) {
task_lock(t); // t could be A
mask = f(A->mems_allowed);
update t->mems_allowed;
pol.create(pol, mask);
task_unlock(t);
}
}
foreach v in A->mm {
if (cpuset_being_rebound == cpusetA)
pol.rebind(pol, cpuset.mems);
v->vma_policy = pol;
}
mmap_write_unlock(A->mm);
mmap_write_lock(t->mm);
mpol_rebind_mm(t->mm);
mmap_write_unlock(t->mm);
}
}
cpuset_being_rebound = NULL;
In this case, the cpuset.mems, which has already done updating, is finally
used for calculating pol->nodes, rather than A->mems_allowed. So it is OK
to call mpol_set_nodemask() with alloc_lock unlocked when doing mbind(2).

common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with

The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names
and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be
having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as
they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them

Patch series "tidy up zsmalloc implementation"
This patchset remove some unnecessary checks and adds a clarifying
comment. While analysing zs_object_copy() function code, I spent some
time to understand what the call kunmap_atomic(d_addr) is for. It seems
that this point is not trivial and it is worth adding a comment.
This patch (of 2):
It's not obvious why kunmap_atomic(d_addr) call is needed.

The magic number 0 and 1 are used in several places in vmscan.c.
Define macros for them to improve code readability.
