binder: signal epoll threads of self-work
In (e)poll mode, threads often depend on I/O events to determine when
data is ready for consumption. Within binder, a thread may initiate a
command via BINDER_WRITE_READ without a read buffer and then make use
of epoll_wait() or similar to consume any responses afterwards.
It is then crucial that epoll threads are signaled via wakeup when they
queue their own work. Otherwise, they risk waiting indefinitely for an
event leaving their work unhandled. What is worse, subsequent commands
won't trigger a wakeup either as the thread has pending work.

list_lru: allow explicit memcg and NUMA node selection
Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback", v8. There are currently several issues with zswap writeback: 1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in the zswap pool. 2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages). This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis. As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds. This patch (of 6): The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our development. This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and list_lru_del_obj(), respectively. It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback, which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit memcg and NUMA node selection.

binder: switch alloc->mutex to spinlock_t
The alloc->mutex is a highly contended lock that causes performance issues on Android devices. When a low-priority task is given this lock and it sleeps, it becomes difficult for the task to wake up and complete its work. This delays other tasks that are also waiting on the mutex. The problem gets worse when there is memory pressure in the system, because this increases the contention on the alloc->mutex while the shrinker reclaims binder pages. Switching to a spinlock helps to keep the waiters running and avoids the overhead of waking up tasks. This significantly improves the transaction latency when the problematic scenario occurs. The performance impact of this patchset was measured by stress-testing the binder alloc contention. In this test, several clients of different priorities send thousands of transactions of different sizes to a single server. In parallel, pages get reclaimed using the shinker's debugfs. The test was run on a Pixel 8, Pixel 6 and qemu machine. The results were similar on all three devices: after: | sched | prio | average | max | min | |--------+------+---------+-----------+---------| | fifo | 99 | 0.135ms | 1.197ms | 0.022ms | | fifo | 01 | 0.136ms | 5.232ms | 0.018ms | | other | -20 | 0.180ms | 7.403ms | 0.019ms | | other | 19 | 0.241ms | 58.094ms | 0.018ms | before: | sched | prio | average | max | min | |--------+------+---------+-----------+---------| | fifo | 99 | 0.350ms | 248.730ms | 0.020ms | | fifo | 01 | 0.357ms | 248.817ms | 0.024ms | | other | -20 | 0.399ms | 249.906ms | 0.020ms | | other | 19 | 0.477ms | 297.756ms | 0.022ms | The key metrics above are the average and max latencies (wall time). These improvements should roughly translate to p95-p99 latencies on real workloads. The response time is up to 200x faster in these scenarios and there is no penalty in the regular path. Note that it is only possible to convert this lock after a series of changes made by previous patches. These mainly include refactoring the sections that might_sleep() and changing the locking order with the mmap_lock amongst others.

binder: reverse locking order in shrinker callback
The locking order currently requires the alloc->mutex to be acquired first followed by the mmap lock. However, the alloc->mutex is converted into a spinlock in subsequent commits so the order needs to be reversed to avoid nesting the sleeping mmap lock under the spinlock. The shrinker's callback binder_alloc_free_page() is the only place that needs to be reordered since other functions have been refactored and no longer nest these locks. Some minor cosmetic changes are also included in this patch.

binder: document the final page calculation
The code to determine the page range for binder_lru_freelist_del() is quite obscure. It leverages the buffer_size calculated before doing an oversized buffer split. This is used to figure out if the last page is being shared with another active buffer. If so, the page gets trimmed out of the range as it has been previously removed from the freelist. This would be equivalent to getting the start page of the next in-use buffer explicitly. However, the code for this is much larger as we can see in binder_free_buf_locked() routine. Instead, lets settle on documenting the tricky step and using better names for now. I believe an ideal solution would be to count the binder_page->users to determine when a page should be added or removed from the freelist. However, this is a much bigger change than what I'm willing to risk at this time.

binder: perform page installation outside of locks
Split out the insertion of pages to be outside of the alloc->mutex in a separate binder_install_buffer_pages() routine.

binder: keep vma addresses type as unsigned long
The vma addresses in binder are currently stored as void __user *. This requires casting back and forth between the mm/ api which uses unsigned long. Since we also do internal arithmetic on these addresses we end up having to cast them _again_ to an integer type. Lets stop all the unnecessary casting which kills code readability and store the virtual addresses as the native unsigned long from mm/. Note that this approach is preferred over uintptr_t as Linus explains in [1]. Opportunistically add a few cosmetic touchups.

binder: fix race between mmput() and do_exit()
Task A calls binder_update_page_range() to allocate and insert pages on
a remote address space from Task B. For this, Task A pins the remote mm
via mmget_not_zero() first. This can race with Task B do_exit() and the
final mmput() refcount decrement will come from Task A.
Task A | Task B
------------------+------------------
mmget_not_zero() |
| do_exit()
| exit_mm()
| mmput()
mmput() |
exit_mmap() |
remove_vma() |
fput() |
In this case, the work of ____fput() from Task B is queued up in Task A
as TWA_RESUME. So in theory, Task A returns to userspace and the cleanup
work gets executed. However, Task A instead sleep, waiting for a reply
from Task B that never comes (it's dead).
This means the binder_deferred_release() is blocked until an unrelated
binder event forces Task A to go back to userspace. All the associated
death notifications will also be delayed until then.
In order to fix this use mmput_async() that will schedule the work in
the corresponding mm->async_put_work WQ instead of Task A.

binder: fix memory leaks of spam and pending work
A transaction complete work is allocated and queued for each transaction. Under certain conditions the work->type might be marked as BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_ONEWAY_SPAM_SUSPECT to notify userspace about potential spamming threads or as BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_PENDING when the target is currently frozen. However, these work types are not being handled in binder_release_work() so they will leak during a cleanup. This was reported by syzkaller with the following kmemleak dump: BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff88810e2d6de0 (size 32): comm "syz-executor338", pid 5046, jiffies 4294968230 (age 13.590s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): e0 6d 2d 0e 81 88 ff ff e0 6d 2d 0e 81 88 ff ff .m-......m-..... 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff81573b75>] kmalloc_trace+0x25/0x90 mm/slab_common.c:1114 [<ffffffff83d41873>] kmalloc include/linux/slab.h:599 [inline] [<ffffffff83d41873>] kzalloc include/linux/slab.h:720 [inline] [<ffffffff83d41873>] binder_transaction+0x573/0x4050 drivers/android/binder.c:3152 [<ffffffff83d45a05>] binder_thread_write+0x6b5/0x1860 drivers/android/binder.c:4010 [<ffffffff83d486dc>] binder_ioctl_write_read drivers/android/binder.c:5066 [inline] [<ffffffff83d486dc>] binder_ioctl+0x1b2c/0x3cf0 drivers/android/binder.c:5352 [<ffffffff816b25f2>] vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] [<ffffffff816b25f2>] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:871 [inline] [<ffffffff816b25f2>] __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:857 [inline] [<ffffffff816b25f2>] __x64_sys_ioctl+0xf2/0x140 fs/ioctl.c:857 [<ffffffff84b30008>] do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] [<ffffffff84b30008>] do_syscall_64+0x38/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 [<ffffffff84c0008b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Fix the leaks by kfreeing these work types in binder_release_work() and handle them as a BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE cleanup.

This carries acks from all relevant filesystems. The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes. Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the client decide to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g., backup applications). If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates. This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are actively queried. This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one. As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used. Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use coarse-grained timestamps. Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included: - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all maintainers provided necessary Acks. - Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented as requiring accessors. - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in. - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers. - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it removing a bunch of open-coding" * tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (107 commits) btrfs: convert to multigrain timestamps ext4: switch to multigrain timestamps xfs: switch to multigrain timestamps tmpfs: add support for multigrain timestamps fs: add infrastructure for multigrain timestamps fs: drop the timespec64 argument from update_time xfs: have xfs_vn_update_time gets its own timestamp fat: make fat_update_time get its own timestamp fat: remove i_version handling from fat_update_time ubifs: have ubifs_update_time use inode_update_timestamps btrfs: have it use inode_update_timestamps fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr fs: remove silly warning from current_time gfs2: fix timestamp handling on quota inodes fs: rename i_ctime field to __i_ctime selinux: convert to ctime accessor functions security: convert to ctime accessor functions apparmor: convert to ctime accessor functions sunrpc: convert to ctime accessor functions ... |
