89d3c87e20 mm, slub, kasan: enable user tracking by default with KASAN=y
It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
because:

a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
    detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
    detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
    This information helps to understand bugs.

Currently it is not enabled by default.  Besides recompiling the kernel
with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
which is not very handy.

Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
reason to not do this.

e0d5771439 kasan: Fix a type conversion error
The current KASAN code can not find the following out-of-bounds bugs:

        char *ptr;
        ptr = kmalloc(8, GFP_KERNEL);
        memset(ptr+7, 0, 2);

the cause of the problem is the type conversion error in
*memory_is_poisoned_n* function.  So this patch fix that.

e912107663 kasan: update reported bug types for not user nor kernel memory accesses
Each access with address lower than
kasan_shadow_to_mem(KASAN_SHADOW_START) is reported as user-memory-access.
This is not always true, the accessed address might not be in user space.
Fix this by reporting such accesses as null-ptr-derefs or
wild-memory-accesses.

There's another reason for this change.  For userspace ASan we have a
bunch of systems that analyze error types for the purpose of
classification and deduplication.  Sooner of later we will write them to
KASAN as well.  Then clearly and explicitly stated error types will bring
value.

a5be35632c Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt: a little tidying
There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of
/proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it
back there.  Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to
match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed).

The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is
so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text;
which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

d0424c429f tmpfs: avoid a little creat and stat slowdown
LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2fb6 ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc
blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo
benchmark.

creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC
on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr()
tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0".

I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to
add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are
allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree.  At first I thought
that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not
skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were
COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none.

This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and
running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the
lesser speedup.

And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on
stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3
commit 44a30220bc ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to
take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.

c12176d336 memcg: fix thresholds for 32b architectures.
Commit 424cdc1413 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a
regression introduced by 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page
counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units
rather than bytes when interpreting the user input.

The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings
during stable backport review.  The page count is converted to bytes but
unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not
sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds.  The same applies
to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow.

Let's remove this bytes vs.  pages internal tracking differences and
handle thresholds in page units internally.  Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to
return the value in page units and revert 424cdc1413 because this should
be sufficient for the consistent handling.  mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the
only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is
converted to give the proper in bytes result.  It is doing that already
for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well.

The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

Fixes: 424cdc1413 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes")
Fixes: 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters")

e0ec90ee7e mm, hugetlbfs: optimize when NUMA=n
My recent patch "mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available" added some
bloat to hugetlb.o.  This patch aims to get some of the bloat back,
especially when NUMA is not in play.

It does this with an implicit #ifdef and marking some things static that
should have been static in my first patch.  It also makes the warnings
only VM_WARN_ON()s.  They were responsible for a pretty big chunk of the
bloat.

Doing this gets our NUMA=n text size back to a wee bit _below_ where we
started before the original patch.

It also shaves a bit of space off the NUMA=y case, but not much.
Enforcing the mempolicy definitely takes some text and it's hard to avoid.

099730d674 mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available
I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages
with 'nr_hugepages'.  They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let
the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time.

This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and
the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they
specified.

The code in question is this:

> struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
...
>         page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg);
>         if (!page) {
>                 page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE);

dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy.
 But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool.  If the
pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously
can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the
VMA.

Almost everybody preallocates huge pages.  That's probably why nobody has
ever noticed this.  Looking back at the git history, I don't think this
_ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in
7893d1d5, 8 years ago.

The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call
in to the buddy allocator.  It's fairly straightforward plumbing.  This
has been lightly tested.

since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty()
which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too.

No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into
what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually
achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag,
and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another.

It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and
incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of
the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which
radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway).

Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while
interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even
bother if the zone is the same.  Do the PageDirty movement there under
tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible:
bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an
un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just
not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional
reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe).

But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for
those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping().

cf4b769abb mm: page migration avoid touching newpage until no going back
We have had trouble in the past from the way in which page migration's
newpage is initialized in dribs and drabs - see commit 8bdd638091 ("mm:
fix direct reclaim writeback regression") which proposed a cleanup.

We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer
(and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that
newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used -
except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move().

So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into
migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths.  Similarly
migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be
deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping.

Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly.

470f119f01 mm: page migration use migration entry for swapcache too
Hitherto page migration has avoided using a migration entry for a
swapcache page mapped into userspace, apparently for historical reasons.
So any page blessed with swapcache would entail a minor fault when it's
next touched, which page migration otherwise tries to avoid.  Swapcache in
an mlocked area is rare, so won't often matter, but still better fixed.

Just rearrange the block in try_to_unmap_one(), to handle TTU_MIGRATION
before checking PageAnon, that's all (apart from some reindenting).

Well, no, that's not quite all: doesn't this by the way fix a soft_dirty
bug, that page migration of a file page was forgetting to transfer the
soft_dirty bit?  Probably not a serious bug: if I understand correctly,
soft_dirty afficionados usually have to handle file pages separately
anyway; but we publish the bit in /proc/<pid>/pagemap on file mappings as
well as anonymous, so page migration ought not to perturb it.

03f15c86c8 mm: simplify page migration's anon_vma comment and flow
__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma()
and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow.
Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in
the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one.
 Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials.

I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any
differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma
confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique,
which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration
entries.  Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of
migration entry ptes like everything else?  So lose that comment now, and
enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.

5c3f9a6737 mm: page migration remove_migration_ptes at lock+unlock level
Clean up page migration a little more by calling remove_migration_ptes()
from the same level, on success or on failure, from __unmap_and_move() or
from unmap_and_move_huge_page().

Don't reset page->mapping of a PageAnon old page in move_to_new_page(),
leave that to when the page is freed.  Except for here in page migration,
it has been an invariant that a PageAnon (bit set in page->mapping) page
stays PageAnon until it is freed, and I think we're safer to keep to that.

And with the above rearrangement, it's necessary because zap_pte_range()
wants to identify whether a migration entry represents a file or an anon
page, to update the appropriate rss stats without waiting on it.

7db7671f83 mm: page migration trylock newpage at same level as oldpage
Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from
move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been
locked.  Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate()
accordingly.

But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of
newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so.
Cutting out BUG()s is good, right?  But, to be honest, this is really to
extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool
of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.

Use an "else" instead of that "skip_unmap" label.

2def7424c9 mm: page migration use the put_new_page whenever necessary
I don't know of any problem from the way it's used in our current tree,
but there is one defect in page migration's custom put_new_page feature.

An unused newpage is expected to be released with the put_new_page(), but
there was one MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS (0) path which released it with
putback_lru_page(): which can be very wrong for a custom pool.

Fixed more easily by resetting put_new_page once it won't be needed, than
by adding a further flag to modify the rc test.

After v4.3's commit 0610c25daa ("memcg: fix dirty page migration")
mem_cgroup_migrate() doesn't have much to offer in page migration: convert
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() to set_page_memcg() instead.

Then rename mem_cgroup_migrate() to mem_cgroup_replace_page(), since its
remaining callers are replace_page_cache_page() and shmem_replace_page():
both of whom passed lrucare true, so just eliminate that argument.

51afb12ba8 mm: page migration fix PageMlocked on migrated pages
Commit e6c509f854 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()")
in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration
unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears
PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with
nothing to do.  Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the
page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the
new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked.

I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily
fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma
is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one().

Delete mlock_migrate_page()?  Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test,
clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an
improvement?  mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it
leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.

b87537d9e2 mm: rmap use pte lock not mmap_sem to set PageMlocked
KernelThreadSanitizer (ktsan) has shown that the down_read_trylock() of
mmap_sem in try_to_unmap_one() (when going to set PageMlocked on a page
found mapped in a VM_LOCKED vma) is ineffective against races with
exit_mmap()'s munlock_vma_pages_all(), because mmap_sem is not held when
tearing down an mm.

But that's okay, those races are benign; and although we've believed for
years in that ugly down_read_trylock(), it's unsuitable for the job, and
frustrates the good intention of setting PageMlocked when it fails.

It just doesn't matter if here we read vm_flags an instant before or after
a racing mlock() or munlock() or exit_mmap() sets or clears VM_LOCKED: the
syscalls (or exit) work their way up the address space (taking pt locks
after updating vm_flags) to establish the final state.

We do still need to be careful never to mark a page Mlocked (hence
unevictable) by any race that will not be corrected shortly after.  The
page lock protects from many of the races, but not all (a page is not
necessarily locked when it's unmapped).  But the pte lock we just dropped
is good to cover the rest (and serializes even with
munlock_vma_pages_all(), so no special barriers required): now hold on to
the pte lock while calling mlock_vma_page().  Is that lock ordering safe?
Yes, that's how follow_page_pte() calls it, and how page_remove_rmap()
calls the complementary clear_page_mlock().

This fixes the following case (though not a case which anyone has
complained of), which mmap_sem did not: truncation's preliminary
unmap_mapping_range() is supposed to remove even the anonymous COWs of
filecache pages, and that might race with try_to_unmap_one() on a
VM_LOCKED vma, so that mlock_vma_page() sets PageMlocked just after
zap_pte_range() unmaps the page, causing "Bad page state (mlocked)" when
freed.  The pte lock protects against this.

You could say that it also protects against the more ordinary case, racing
with the preliminary unmapping of a filecache page itself: but in our
current tree, that's independently protected by i_mmap_rwsem; and that
race would be why "Bad page state (mlocked)" was seen before commit
48ec833b78 ("Revert mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem").

Vlastimil Babka points out another race which this patch protects against.
 try_to_unmap_one() might reach its mlock_vma_page() TestSetPageMlocked a
moment after munlock_vma_pages_all() did its Phase 1 TestClearPageMlocked:
leaving PageMlocked and unevictable when it should be evictable.  mmap_sem
is ineffective because exit_mmap() does not hold it; page lock ineffective
because __munlock_pagevec() only takes it afterwards, in Phase 2; pte lock
is effective because __munlock_pagevec_fill() takes it to get the page,
after VM_LOCKED was cleared from vm_flags, so visible to try_to_unmap_one.

Kirill Shutemov points out that if the compiler chooses to implement a
"vma->vm_flags &= VM_WHATEVER" or "vma->vm_flags |= VM_WHATEVER" operation
with an intermediate store of unrelated bits set, since I'm here foregoing
its usual protection by mmap_sem, try_to_unmap_one() might catch sight of
a spurious VM_LOCKED in vm_flags, and make the wrong decision.  This does
not appear to be an immediate problem, but we may want to define vm_flags
accessors in future, to guard against such a possibility.

While we're here, make a related optimization in try_to_munmap_one(): if
it's doing TTU_MUNLOCK, then there's no point at all in descending the
page tables and getting the pt lock, unless the vma is VM_LOCKED.  Yes,
that can change racily, but it can change racily even without the
optimization: it's not critical.  Far better not to waste time here.

Stopped short of separating try_to_munlock_one() from try_to_munmap_one()
on this occasion, but that's probably the sensible next step - with a
rename, given that try_to_munlock()'s business is to try to set Mlocked.

Updated the unevictable-lru Documentation, to remove its reference to mmap
semaphore, but found a few more updates needed in just that area.

f2e5ff85ed ksm: don't fail stable tree lookups if walking over stale stable_nodes
The stable_nodes can become stale at any time if the underlying pages gets
freed.  The stable_node gets collected and removed from the stable rbtree
if that is detected during the rbtree lookups.

Don't fail the lookup if running into stale stable_nodes, just restart the
lookup after collecting the stale stable_nodes.  Otherwise the CPU spent
in the preparation stage is wasted and the lookup must be repeated at the
next loop potentially failing a second time in a second stale stable_node.

If we don't prune aggressively we delay the merging of the unstable node
candidates and at the same time we delay the freeing of the stale
stable_nodes.  Keeping stale stable_nodes around wastes memory and it
can't provide any benefit.

df4065516b memcg: simplify and inline __mem_cgroup_from_kmem
Before the previous patch ("memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages
charging"), __mem_cgroup_from_kmem had to handle two types of kmem - slab
pages and pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages - memcg in the page
struct.  Now we can unify it.  Since after it, this function becomes tiny
we can fold it into mem_cgroup_from_kmem.

f3ccb2c422 memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages charging
We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and
uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for
charging slab pages (i.e.  they are only used for charging pages allocated
with alloc_kmem_pages).  The only reason why the slab subsystem uses
special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it
needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges
to the memcg that the current task belongs to.

To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to
__memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL.  If it is
not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to,
otherwise it charge to the current context.  Next, it makes the slab
subsystem use this function to charge slab pages.

Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only
in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined.  Since
__memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we
don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages.
Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading
/proc/kpagecgroup.

Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design.  Since this
design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any
difference.

d05e83a6f8 memcg: simplify charging kmem pages
Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps.  First, we try to charge the
allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate
a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the
page struct.

Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in
trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't
be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after
doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post
factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless.

So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the
"commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page.

Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and
memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead
of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.
