mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

mm: move memory_failure_queue() into copy_mc_[user]_highpage()
Patch series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio", v5.
The folio migration is widely used in kernel, memory compaction, memory
hotplug, soft offline page, numa balance, memory demote/promotion, etc,
but once access a poisoned source folio when migrating, the kernel will
panic.
There is a mechanism in the kernel to recover from uncorrectable memory
errors, ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC(eg, Machine Check Safe Memory Copy on x86), which
is already used in NVDIMM or core-mm paths(eg, CoW, khugepaged, coredump,
ksm copy), see copy_mc_to_{user,kernel}, copy_mc_{user_}highpage callers.
This series of patches provide the recovery mechanism from folio copy for
the widely used folio migration. Please note, because folio migration is
no guarantee of success, so we could chose to make folio migration
tolerant of memory failures, adding folio_mc_copy() which is a #MC
versions of folio_copy(), once accessing a poisoned source folio, we could
return error and make the folio migration fail, and this could avoid the
similar panic shown below.

This patch (of 5):
There is a memory_failure_queue() call after copy_mc_[user]_highpage(),
see callers, eg, CoW/KSM page copy, it is used to mark the source page as
h/w poisoned and unmap it from other tasks, and the upcomming poison
recover from migrate folio will do the similar thing, so let's move the
memory_failure_queue() into the copy_mc_[user]_highpage() instead of
adding it into each user, this should also enhance the handling of
poisoned page in khugepaged.

mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL
Currently we always take a folio reference even if migration will not even be tried or isolation failed, requiring us to grab+drop an additional reference. Further, we end up calling folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio might have already been unmapped, because after we dropped the PTL, that can easily happen. We want to stop touching mapcounts and friends from such context, and only call folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio is still mapped: mapcount information is pretty much stale and unreliable otherwise. So let's move checks into numamigrate_isolate_folio(), rename that function to migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare(), and call that function from callsites where we call migrate_misplaced_folio(), but still with the PTL held. We can now stop taking temporary folio references, and really only take a reference if folio isolation succeeded. Doing the folio_likely_mapped_shared() + folio isolation under PT lock is now similar to how we handle MADV_PAGEOUT. While at it, combine the folio_is_file_lru() checks.

mm/migrate: make migrate_misplaced_folio() return 0 on success
Patch series "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". Let's just return 0 on success, which is less confusing. ... especially because we got it wrong in the migrate.h stub where we have "return -EAGAIN; /* can't migrate now */" instead of "return 0;". Likely this wrong return value doesn't currently matter, but it certainly adds confusion. We'll add migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() next, where we want to use the same "return 0 on success" approach, so let's just clean this up.

This patch (of 4): Replace clear_huge_page() with folio_zero_user(), and take a folio instead of a page.

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: swap: remove 'synchronous' argument to swap_read_folio()
Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2] removed polling support. Commit [3] removed the remnants of polling support from read_swap_cache_async() and __read_swap_cache_async(). However, it left behind some remnants in swap_read_folio(), the 'synchronous' argument. swap_read_folio() reads the folio synchronously if synchronous=true or if SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set in swap_info_struct. The only caller that passes synchronous=true is in do_swap_page() in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO case. Hence, the argument is redundant, it is only set to true when the swap read would have been synchronous anyway. Remove it. [1] Commit |

mm: swap: reuse exclusive folio directly instead of wp page faults
After swapping out, we perform a swap-in operation. If we first read and
then write, we encounter a major fault in do_swap_page for reading, along
with additional minor faults in do_wp_page for writing. However, the
latter appears to be unnecessary and inefficient. Instead, we can
directly reuse in do_swap_page and completely eliminate the need for
do_wp_page.
This patch achieves that optimization specifically for exclusive folios.
The following microbenchmark demonstrates the significant reduction in
minor faults.

mm: swap: entirely map large folios found in swapcache
When a large folio is found in the swapcache, the current implementation requires calling do_swap_page() nr_pages times, resulting in nr_pages page faults. This patch opts to map the entire large folio at once to minimize page faults. Additionally, redundant checks and early exits for ARM64 MTE restoring are removed.

mm: swap: make should_try_to_free_swap() support large-folio
The function should_try_to_free_swap() operates under the assumption that swap-in always occurs at the normal page granularity, i.e., folio_nr_pages() = 1. However, in reality, for large folios, add_to_swap_cache() will invoke folio_ref_add(folio, nr). To accommodate large folio swap-in, this patch eliminates this assumption.

mm: introduce arch_do_swap_page_nr() which allows restore metadata for nr pages
Should do_swap_page() have the capability to directly map a large folio, metadata restoration becomes necessary for a specified number of pages denoted as nr. It's important to highlight that metadata restoration is solely required by the SPARC platform, which, however, does not enable THP_SWAP. Consequently, in the present kernel configuration, there exists no practical scenario where users necessitate the restoration of nr metadata. Platforms implementing THP_SWAP might invoke this function with nr values exceeding 1, subsequent to do_swap_page() successfully mapping an entire large folio. Nonetheless, their arch_do_swap_page_nr() functions remain empty.

mm: batch unlink_file_vma calls in free_pgd_range
Execs of dynamically linked binaries at 20-ish cores are bottlenecked on the i_mmap_rwsem semaphore, while the biggest singular contributor is free_pgd_range inducing the lock acquire back-to-back for all consecutive mappings of a given file. Tracing the count of said acquires while building the kernel shows: [1, 2) 799579 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [2, 3) 0 | | [3, 4) 3009 | | [4, 5) 3009 | | [5, 6) 326442 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | So in particular there were 326442 opportunities to coalesce 5 acquires into 1. Doing so increases execs per second by 4% (~50k to ~52k) when running the benchmark linked below. The lock remains the main bottleneck, I have not looked at other spots yet. Bench can be found here: http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/doexec.c $ cc -O2 -o shared-doexec doexec.c $ ./shared-doexec $(nproc) Note this particular test makes sure binaries are separate, but the loader is shared.

mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()
For now we only get the (small) zeropage mapped to user space in four
cases (excluding VM_PFNMAP mappings, such as /proc/vmstat):
(1) Read page faults in anonymous VMAs (MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON):
do_anonymous_page() will not refcount it and map it pte_mkspecial()
(2) UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE on anonymous VMA or COW mapping of shmem
(MAP_PRIVATE). mfill_atomic_pte_zeropage() will not refcount it and
map it pte_mkspecial().
(3) KSM in mergeable VMA (anonymous VMA or COW mapping).
cmp_and_merge_page() will not refcount it and map it
pte_mkspecial().
(4) FSDAX as an optimization for holes.
vmf_insert_mixed()->__vm_insert_mixed() might end up calling
insert_page() without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL, refcounting the
zeropage and not mapping it pte_mkspecial(). With
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL, we'll call insert_pfn() where we will
not refcount it and map it pte_mkspecial().
In case (4), we might not have VM_MIXEDMAP set: while fs/fuse/dax.c sets
VM_MIXEDMAP, we removed it for ext4 fsdax in commit

mm/memory: move page_count() check into validate_page_before_insert()
Patch series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()", v2. There is interest in mapping zeropages via vm_insert_pages() [1] into MAP_SHARED mappings. For now, we only get zeropages in MAP_SHARED mappings via vmf_insert_mixed() from FSDAX code, and I think it's a bit shaky in some cases because we refcount the zeropage when mapping it but not necessarily always when unmapping it ... and we should actually never refcount it. It's all a bit tricky, especially how zeropages in MAP_SHARED mappings interact with GUP (FOLL_LONGTERM), mprotect(), write-faults and s390x forbidding the shared zeropage (rewrite [2] s now upstream). This series tries to take the careful approach of only allowing the zeropage where it is likely safe to use (which should cover the existing FSDAX use case and [1]), preventing that it could accidentally get mapped writable during a write fault, mprotect() etc, and preventing issues with FOLL_LONGTERM in the future with other users. Tested with a patch from Vincent that uses the zeropage in context of [1].

Revert "mm: init_mlocked_on_free_v3"
There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

mm: simplify and improve print_vma_addr() output
Use '%pD' to print out the filename, and print out the actual offset within the file too, rather than just what the virtual address of the mapping is (which doesn't tell you anything about any mapping offsets). Also, use the exact vma_lookup() instead of find_vma() - the latter looks up any vma _after_ the address, which is of questionable value (yes, maybe you fell off the beginning, but you'd be more likely to fall off the end).

mm: delay the check for a NULL anon_vma
Instead of checking the anon_vma early in the fault path where all page faults pay the cost, delay it until we know we're going to need the anon_vma to be filled in. This will have a slight negative effect on the first fault in an anonymous VMA, but it shortens every other page fault. It also makes the code slightly cleaner as the anon and file backed fault handling look more similar. The Intel kernel test bot reports a 3x improvement in vm-scalability throughput with the small-allocs-mt test. This is clearly an extreme situation that won't be replicated in any real-world workload, but it's a nice win. https://lore.kernel.org/all/202404261055.c5e24608-oliver.sang@intel.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240426144506.1290619-3-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: add per-order mTHP anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback counters
Patch series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters", v6. The patchset introduces a framework to facilitate mTHP counters, starting with the allocation and swap-out counters. Currently, only four new nodes are appended to the stats directory for each mTHP size. /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats anon_fault_alloc anon_fault_fallback anon_fault_fallback_charge anon_swpout anon_swpout_fallback These nodes are crucial for us to monitor the fragmentation levels of both the buddy system and the swap partitions. In the future, we may consider adding additional nodes for further insights. This patch (of 4): Profiling a system blindly with mTHP has become challenging due to the lack of visibility into its operations. Presenting the success rate of mTHP allocations appears to be pressing need. Recently, I've been experiencing significant difficulty debugging performance improvements and regressions without these figures. It's crucial for us to understand the true effectiveness of mTHP in real-world scenarios, especially in systems with fragmented memory. This patch establishes the framework for per-order mTHP counters. It begins by introducing the anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback counters. Additionally, to maintain consistency with thp_fault_fallback_charge in /proc/vmstat, this patch also tracks anon_fault_fallback_charge when mem_cgroup_charge fails for mTHP. Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.

mm: follow_pte() improvements
follow_pte() is now our main function to lookup PTEs in VM_PFNMAP/VM_IO VMAs. Let's perform some more sanity checks to make this exported function harder to abuse. Further, extend the doc a bit, it still focuses on the KVM use case with MMU notifiers. Drop the KVM+follow_pfn() comment, follow_pfn() is no more, and we have other users nowadays. Also extend the doc regarding refcounted pages and the interaction with MMU notifiers. KVM is one example that uses MMU notifiers and can deal with refcounted pages properly. VFIO is one example that doesn't use MMU notifiers, and to prevent use-after-free, rejects refcounted pages: pfn_valid(pfn) && !PageReserved(pfn_to_page(pfn)). Protection changes are less of a concern for users like VFIO: the behavior is similar to longterm-pinning a page, and getting the PTE protection changed afterwards. The primary concern with refcounted pages is use-after-free, which callers should be aware of.

mm: madvise: avoid split during MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_COLD
Rework madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to avoid splitting any large folio that is fully and contiguously mapped in the pageout/cold vm range. This change means that large folios will be maintained all the way to swap storage. This both improves performance during swap-out, by eliding the cost of splitting the folio, and sets us up nicely for maintaining the large folio when it is swapped back in (to be covered in a separate series). Folios that are not fully mapped in the target range are still split, but note that behavior is changed so that if the split fails for any reason (folio locked, shared, etc) we now leave it as is and move to the next pte in the range and continue work on the proceeding folios. Previously any failure of this sort would cause the entire operation to give up and no folios mapped at higher addresses were paged out or made cold. Given large folios are becoming more common, this old behavior would have likely lead to wasted opportunities. While we are at it, change the code that clears young from the ptes to use ptep_test_and_clear_young(), via the new mkold_ptes() batch helper function. This is more efficent than get_and_clear/modify/set, especially for contpte mappings on arm64, where the old approach would require unfolding/refolding and the new approach can be done in place.

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.

Fallback rates surpassing 90% have been observed on phones utilizing 64KiB CONT-PTE mTHP. In these scenarios, when one out of every 16 PTEs fails to allocate large folios, the remaining 15 PTEs fallback. Consequently, invoking vma_thp_gfp_mask seems redundant in such cases.

the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit

mm: introduce vma_pgtable_walk_{begin|end}()
Introduce per-vma begin()/end() helpers for pgtable walks. This is a preparation work to merge hugetlb pgtable walkers with generic mm. The helpers need to be called before and after a pgtable walk, will start to be needed if the pgtable walker code supports hugetlb pages. It's a hook point for any type of VMA, but for now only hugetlb uses it to stablize the pgtable pages from getting away (due to possible pmd unsharing).

mm: move follow_phys to arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c
follow_phys is only used by two callers in arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c. Move it there and hardcode the two arguments that get the same values passed by both callers.

mm: convert folio_estimated_sharers() to folio_likely_mapped_shared()
Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs. mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers. Let's consolidate and unify the condition users are checking. While at it clarify the semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness. Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the (adjusted) function actually checks. Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially mapped than partially mapped is debatable. In the future, we might be able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though. Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the first subpage is actually mapped multiple times. When the first subpage is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively". This change should currently only affect the usage in madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.
