c3f4a9a2b0 mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttle
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying
a timeout value.  The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling.  These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived

Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value.  Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

d818fca1ca mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim
instances have isolated too many pages.  This makes no sense, excessive
parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion.

This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many
pages are isolated.  The throttled tasks are woken when the number of
isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs.  There may be some false
positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will
throttle again if necessary.

8cd7c588de mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.

This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested.  It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].

Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea.  While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).

This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.

 - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
   enough pages get cleaned

 - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
   either reclaimed or put back on the LRU

 - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
   another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.

This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work.  A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem.  Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.

stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase.  It has
four types of worker.

 - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
   times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time

 - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
   size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
   to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
   accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
   linear write speed of the storage.

 - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files

 - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory

 - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory

X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4

The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.

The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages.  The results below are based on having zero
readers.

The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.

The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.

Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results.  The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU.  There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim.  The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers.  Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.

It is expected that this will be very machine dependant.  Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not.  The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger.  The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable.  For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different.  The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity.  Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.

The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different.  Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes.  The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

  82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all.  What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

      1 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=120000

    778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000

congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.

Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

Patch series
------------

Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

    112 usec_timeout=100000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry.  For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were

   6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
  93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
  96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward.  A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

      9 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
     12 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=16000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

   6520 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=0 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

Most did not stall at all.  A small number reached the timeout.

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS, the breakdown of stalls were all over
the map

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all.  The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.

While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all.  This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.

Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls.  There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage.  A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.

This patch (of 5):

Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:

 - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
   reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
   pages can be cleaned.

 - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
   inodes.

wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started.  If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early.  If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

3eed3ef55c mm: Add folio_evictable()
This is the folio equivalent of page_evictable().  Unfortunately, it's
different from !folio_test_unevictable(), but I think it's used in places
where you have to be a VM expert and can reasonably be expected to know
the difference.

269ccca389 mm/writeback: Add __folio_end_writeback()
test_clear_page_writeback() is actually an mm-internal function, although
it's named as if it's a pagecache function.  Move it to mm/internal.h,
rename it to __folio_end_writeback() and change the return type to bool.

The conversion from page to folio is mostly about accounting the number
of pages being written back, although it does eliminate a couple of
calls to compound_head().

It's only a couple of instructions (load and mask), so it's definitely

it's more efficient to do the subtraction than the mask.

79c28a4167 mm/numa: automatically generate node migration order
Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11.

We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as
Intel's implementation of persistent memory.

Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory.
Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM
contents will be thrown out.  Allocations will, at some point, start
falling over to the slower persistent memory.

That has two nasty properties.  First, the newer allocations can end up in
the slower persistent memory.  Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just
discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could
be used.

This patchset implements a solution to these problems.  At the end of the
reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount
is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being
dropped.

While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function
in any environment where memory tiers exist.

This is not perfect.  It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings
them back to fast DRAM.  Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes
NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM.

This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent
memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com

With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2
separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node.  So the
general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can
migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node.

We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench.  On a
2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset
can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the
DRAM only + disk case.  This comes from the reduced disk read throughput
(which reduces up to 70.8%).

== Open Issues ==

 * Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations
   to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this
   new mechanism.  A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of
   these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on.
 * Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs
   since it no longer necessarily involves I/O.  get_scan_count()
   for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother
   scanning anon pages"

This patch (of 9):

Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a
node migration table.  This allows creating single migration target for
each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of
simply discarding colder pages.  A node with no target is a "terminal
node", so reclaim acts normally there.  The migration target does not
fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts
there to limit complexity.

When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically
migrated to another node.  The biggest problems are knowing when to
migrate and to where the migration should be targeted.

The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to
follow the page allocator fallback lists.  Those lists already tell us if
memory is full where to look next.  It would also be logical to move
memory in that order.

But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in
all the lists.  This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B,
B->A, A->B, ...).

Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate
node migration ordering.  But, reuse the same data used to generate page
allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node().

This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances
essentially dictates the ordering for now.  It should also be
architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working
find_next_best_node().

RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent
demotion cycles been observed.  If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are
performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure
no cycles are observed.  Details are as follows.

=== What does RCU provide? ===

Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking
for the last node:

        terminal_node = start_node;
        while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) {
                terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node];
        }

The initial values are:

        node_demotion[0] = 1;
        node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE;

and are updated to:

        node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
        node_demotion[1] = 0;

What guarantees that the cycle is not observed:

        node_demotion[0] = 1;
        node_demotion[1] = 0;

and would loop forever?

With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop.  Since
the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old
contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has
completed.

RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old
migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes()
is called.

=== What does READ_ONCE() provide? ===

READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive
reads of node_demotion[].  This ensures that any updates are *eventually*
observed.

Consider the above loop again.  The compiler could theoretically read the
entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go
back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[].

Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering
guarantees:

c803b3c8b3 mm: introduce memmap_alloc() to unify memory map allocation
There are several places that allocate memory for the memory map:
alloc_node_mem_map() for FLATMEM, sparse_buffer_init() and
__populate_section_memmap() for SPARSEMEM.

The memory allocated in the FLATMEM case is zeroed and it is never
poisoned, regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting.

The memory allocated in the SPARSEMEM cases is not zeroed and it is
implicitly poisoned inside memblock if CONFIG_PAGE_POISON is set.

Introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper for memblock allocators that will be used
for both FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM cases and will makei memory map zeroing and
poisoning consistent for different memory models.

6aeb25425d mmap: make mlock_future_check() global
Patch series "mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas", v20.

This is an implementation of "secret" mappings backed by a file
descriptor.

The file descriptor backing secret memory mappings is created using a
dedicated memfd_secret system call The desired protection mode for the
memory is configured using flags parameter of the system call.  The mmap()
of the file descriptor created with memfd_secret() will create a "secret"
memory mapping.  The pages in that mapping will be marked as not present
in the direct map and will be present only in the page table of the owning
mm.

Although normally Linux userspace mappings are protected from other users,
such secret mappings are useful for environments where a hostile tenant is
trying to trick the kernel into giving them access to other tenants
mappings.

It's designed to provide the following protections:

* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
  attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks.  Seceretmem makes
  "simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
  required complexity of the attack.  Along with other protections like
  the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
  make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
  for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
  Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
  mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
  a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents.  That
  takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
  standard attacks.

* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures.  Once the
  secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
  kernel to be transmitted somewhere.  The secreremem pages cannot be
  accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.

* Harden against exploited kernel flaws.  In order to access secretmem,
  a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
  create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
  secrets exfiltration using ptrace.

In the future the secret mappings may be used as a mean to protect guest
memory in a virtual machine host.

For demonstration of secret memory usage we've created a userspace library

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/secret-memory-preloader.git

that does two things: the first is act as a preloader for openssl to
redirect all the OPENSSL_malloc calls to secret memory meaning any secret
keys get automatically protected this way and the other thing it does is
expose the API to the user who needs it.  We anticipate that a lot of the
use cases would be like the openssl one: many toolkits that deal with
secret keys already have special handling for the memory to try to give
them greater protection, so this would simply be pluggable into the
toolkits without any need for user application modification.

Hiding secret memory mappings behind an anonymous file allows usage of the
page cache for tracking pages allocated for the "secret" mappings as well
as using address_space_operations for e.g.  page migration callbacks.

The anonymous file may be also used implicitly, like hugetlb files, to
implement mmap(MAP_SECRET) and use the secret memory areas with "native"
mm ABIs in the future.

Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance.  However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "...  can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit 00d1c5e057
("x86: add gbpages switches")) and the recent report [1] showed that "...
although 1G mappings are a good default choice, there is no compelling
evidence that it must be the only choice".  Hence, it is sufficient to
have secretmem disabled by default with the ability of a system
administrator to enable it at boot time.

In addition, there is also a long term goal to improve management of the
direct map.

find_suitable_fallback is only shared outside of page_alloc.c for

4ca9b3859d mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables
I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings

When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also
sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/
discard memory inside such a sparse memory region.  Example users are
hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar
technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators.  In addition, we want
to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does
not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily
with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs).

While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for
reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic
approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory.

Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept
of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically
and avoid expensive/problematic remappings.  In addition, we never
actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort
only.

fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a
safe way.  However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on
anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics.  In addition, fallocate()
does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults
on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads)
and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of
backend storage.  There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory
regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy
as it does not prefault page tables.

II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space

Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and
databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not
overwrite existing data) all individual pages.

However, that approach
1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing
   each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem.
2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple
   threads.
3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case
   of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is
   problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already
   be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors.
   "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that
   easy.

III. On MADV_WILLNEED

Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because
1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and
   "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/
   preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.".
2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon)
   don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint
   to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't
   expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time
   might be spent.

IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE

Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by
MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics:
1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like
   manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW
   mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage
   might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to
   write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit
   fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in
   the file system) in case the file might have holes.
2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated
   (prefaulted) readable once.
3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and
   prefault page tables just like manually writing (or
   reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW
   mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated.
4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated
   (prefaulted) writable once.
5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special
   mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access
   permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such
   mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL.
6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables
   might have been populated.
7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON
   when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range.
8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
   cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the
   process.

While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e.,
preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that
whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty,
because the CPU could dirty them any time.  while not a real problem for
hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each
page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting.

MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole
mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction
won't have to write it back.  As discussed above, shared file mappings
might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve
preallcoation+prepopulation.

Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also
be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is
not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one
example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM
after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently
suppressed.

Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1],
however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements --
which should also still be the case.

V. Single-threaded performance comparison

I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty
mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times.  The results
correspond to the shortest execution time.  In general, the performance
benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings.

V.1: Private mappings

POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest.  Note that
Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable
-- which result in short population times.

The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and
prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.

V.2: Shared mappings

fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables.
POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes.
POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads.

Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault
page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.  With an fd, the fastest way is usually
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one
exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ.

The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then,
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as
dirty.

c5b5a3dd2c mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault handling
When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported
yet.  So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling.
Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much
sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using
the generic migration code.

This patch reworks the NUMA fault handling to use generic migration
implementation to migrate misplaced page.  There is no functional change.

After the refactor the flow of NUMA fault handling looks just like its
PTE counterpart:
  Acquire ptl
  Prepare for migration (elevate page refcount)
  Release ptl
  Isolate page from lru and elevate page refcount
  Migrate the misplaced THP

If migration fails just restore the old normal PMD.

In the old code anon_vma lock was needed to serialize THP migration
against THP split, but since then the THP code has been reworked a lot, it
seems anon_vma lock is not required anymore to avoid the race.

The page refcount elevation when holding ptl should prevent from THP
split.

Use migrate_misplaced_page() for both base page and THP NUMA hinting fault
and remove all the dead and duplicate code.

44042b4498 mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages.  This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on
the zone->lock.  This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages.  Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.

Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented.  High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be
exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of
THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.
Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single
CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.

That said, basic performance testing passed.  The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of
high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk
allocations.  The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would
have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the
order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

04f8cfeaed mm/page_alloc: adjust pcp->high after CPU hotplug events
The PCP high watermark is based on the number of online CPUs so the
watermarks must be adjusted during CPU hotplug.  At the time of
hot-remove, the number of online CPUs is already adjusted but during
hot-add, a delta needs to be applied to update PCP to the correct value.
After this patch is applied, the high watermarks are adjusted correctly.

494c1dfe85 mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> caches
There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array
(memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed.

On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer
array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this
happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least
one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab.

When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one
in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the
right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the
recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system.

One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n>
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All
the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted
objects.

With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So
both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are
gone.

Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have
mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the
number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit
of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does
have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash.

The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and
KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches()
will include the newly added caches without change.

494334e43c mm/thp: fix vma_address() if virtual address below file offset
Running certain tests with a DEBUG_VM kernel would crash within hours,
on the total_mapcount BUG() in split_huge_page_to_list(), while trying
to free up some memory by punching a hole in a shmem huge page: split's
try_to_unmap() was unable to find all the mappings of the page (which,
on a !DEBUG_VM kernel, would then keep the huge page pinned in memory).

When that BUG() was changed to a WARN(), it would later crash on the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA(end < vma->vm_start || start >= vma->vm_end, vma) in
mm/internal.h:vma_address(), used by rmap_walk_file() for
try_to_unmap().

vma_address() is usually correct, but there's a wraparound case when the
vm_start address is unusually low, but vm_pgoff not so low:
vma_address() chooses max(start, vma->vm_start), but that decides on the
wrong address, because start has become almost ULONG_MAX.

Rewrite vma_address() to be more careful about vm_pgoff; move the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA() out of it, returning -EFAULT for errors, so that it can
be safely used from page_mapped_in_vma() and page_address_in_vma() too.

Add vma_address_end() to apply similar care to end address calculation,
in page_vma_mapped_walk() and page_mkclean_one() and try_to_unmap_one();
though it raises a question of whether callers would do better to supply
pvmw->end to page_vma_mapped_walk() - I chose not, for a smaller patch.

An irritation is that their apparent generality breaks down on KSM
pages, which cannot be located by the page->index that page_to_pgoff()
uses: as commit 4b0ece6fa0 ("mm: migrate: fix remove_migration_pte()
for ksm pages") once discovered.  I dithered over the best thing to do
about that, and have ended up with a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageKsm) in both
vma_address() and vma_address_end(); though the only place in danger of
using it on them was try_to_unmap_one().

Sidenote: vma_address() and vma_address_end() now use compound_nr() on a
head page, instead of thp_size(): to make the right calculation on a
hugetlbfs page, whether or not THPs are configured.  try_to_unmap() is
used on hugetlbfs pages, but perhaps the wrong calculation never
mattered.

f10628d2f6 Revert "mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump."
While reviewing [1] I came across commit d3378e86d1 ("mm/gup: check
page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken
in two ways.  First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being
dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time
after the check.  Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a
ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which
is not released.

It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were
follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address
the underlying problem [2]

Therefore revert the original patch.

c2ad7a1ffe mm,compaction: let isolate_migratepages_{range,block} return error codes
Currently, isolate_migratepages_{range,block} and their callers use a pfn
== 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme to let the caller know whether there was any error
during isolation.

This does not work as soon as we need to start reporting different error
codes and make sure we pass them down the chain, so they are properly
interpreted by functions like e.g: alloc_contig_range.

Let us rework isolate_migratepages_{range,block} so we can report error
codes.  Since isolate_migratepages_block will stop returning the next pfn
to be scanned, we reuse the cc->migrate_pfn field to keep track of that.

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
 "Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
  the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
  two parts:

  (1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.

      This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
      (whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
      framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
      future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
      allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
      read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
      provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
      the helper takes care of the rest.

  (2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
      facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
      pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
      side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
      it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.

      Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
      available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
      from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
      modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
      blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.

  This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
  opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
  to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
  pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
  with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
  old API.

  This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
  way invalidation is done at this time.

  In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
  (fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
  fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
  replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
  to follow.

  This patchset contains the following parts:

   - Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
     iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.

   - Patches to add the netfs helper library.

   - A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.

   - A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
     read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.

  Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
  intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
  that I will post a separate pull request for.

  With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
  cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
  patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
  passes the expected tests.

  I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
  PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
  the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
  route them separately"

fcd9ae4f7f mm/filemap: Pass the file_ra_state in the ractl
For readahead_expand(), we need to modify the file ra_state, so pass it
down by adding it to the ractl.  We have to do this because it's not always
the same as f_ra in the struct file that is already being passed.

d3378e86d1 mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.
When we do coredump for user process signal, this may be an SIGBUS signal
with BUS_MCEERR_AR or BUS_MCEERR_AO code, which means this signal is
resulted from ECC memory fail like SRAR or SRAO, we expect the memory
recovery work is finished correctly, then the get_dump_page() will not
return the error page as its process pte is set invalid by
memory_failure().

But memory_failure() may fail, and the process's related pte may not be
correctly set invalid, for current code, we will return the poison page,
get it dumped, and then lead to system panic as its in kernel code.

So check the poison status in get_dump_page(), and if TRUE, return NULL.

There maybe other scenario that is also better to check the posion status
and not to panic, so make a wrapper for this check, Thanks to David's
suggestion(<david@redhat.com>).

97a7e4733b mm: introduce page_needs_cow_for_dma() for deciding whether cow
We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked
against whether we should break the cow right now during fork().  It's
easier to provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on
hugetlbfs.

Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too.
Actually it suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is
exported to the whole kernel.  With that we should expect another patch to
use is_cow_mapping() whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it
quite a lot but it's always done with raw code against VM_* flags.

5c211ba29d mm: add and use find_lock_entries
We have three functions (shmem_undo_range(), truncate_inode_pages_range()
and invalidate_mapping_pages()) which want exactly this function, so add
it to filemap.c.  Before this patch, shmem_undo_range() would split any
compound page which overlaps either end of the range being punched in both
the first and second loops through the address space.  After this patch,
that functionality is left for the second loop, which is arguably more
appropriate since the first loop is supposed to run through all the pages
quickly, and splitting a page can sleep.

ec6e8c7e03 mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline
Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress
because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated.  But the page
isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored
on pcp lists and thus can be reused.  This can be worked around by
repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 9683182612
("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline").

David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that
callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to
repeatedly drain.  David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely
during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them.

To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we
can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any
pcplist addition will be immediately flushed.

The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining
pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range().  The draining
will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read
the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that
have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they
are rescheduled, and skip pcplists.  This guarantees no stray pages on
pcplists in zones where isolation happens.

This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions
that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and
after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages.

Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where
pcplists are not empty.  The check can however race with a free to pcplist
that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1.  Thus make the
drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this
option in zone_pcp_disable().

As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are
disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it
in zone_pcp_enable().  This also synchronizes multiple users of
zone_pcp_disable()/enable().

Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

19fc7bed25 mm/migrate: introduce a standard migration target allocation function
There are some similar functions for migration target allocation.  Since
there is no fundamental difference, it's better to keep just one rather
than keeping all variants.  This patch implements base migration target
allocation function.  In the following patches, variants will be converted
to use this function.

Changes should be mechanical, but, unfortunately, there are some
differences.  First, some callers' nodemask is assgined to NULL since NULL
nodemask will be considered as all available nodes, that is,
&node_states[N_MEMORY].  Second, for hugetlb page allocation, gfp_mask is
redefined as regular hugetlb allocation gfp_mask plus __GFP_THISNODE if
user provided gfp_mask has it.  This is because future caller of this
function requires to set this node constaint.  Lastly, if provided nodeid
is NUMA_NO_NODE, nodeid is set up to the node where migration source
lives.  It helps to remove simple wrappers for setting up the nodeid.

Note that PageHighmem() call in previous function is changed to open-code
"is_highmem_idx()" since it provides more readability.

facdaa917c mm: proactive compaction
For some applications, we need to allocate almost all memory as hugepages.
However, on a running system, higher-order allocations can fail if the
memory is fragmented.  Linux kernel currently does on-demand compaction as
we request more hugepages, but this style of compaction incurs very high
latency.  Experiments with one-time full memory compaction (followed by
hugepage allocations) show that kernel is able to restore a highly
fragmented memory state to a fairly compacted memory state within <1 sec
for a 32G system.  Such data suggests that a more proactive compaction can
help us allocate a large fraction of memory as hugepages keeping
allocation latencies low.

For a more proactive compaction, the approach taken here is to define a
new sysctl called 'vm.compaction_proactiveness' which dictates bounds for
external fragmentation which kcompactd tries to maintain.

The tunable takes a value in range [0, 100], with a default of 20.

Note that a previous version of this patch [1] was found to introduce too
many tunables (per-order extfrag{low, high}), but this one reduces them to
just one sysctl.  Also, the new tunable is an opaque value instead of
asking for specific bounds of "external fragmentation", which would have
been difficult to estimate.  The internal interpretation of this opaque
value allows for future fine-tuning.

Currently, we use a simple translation from this tunable to [low, high]
"fragmentation score" thresholds (low=100-proactiveness, high=low+10%).
The score for a node is defined as weighted mean of per-zone external
fragmentation.  A zone's present_pages determines its weight.

To periodically check per-node score, we reuse per-node kcompactd threads,
which are woken up every 500 milliseconds to check the same.  If a node's
score exceeds its high threshold (as derived from user-provided
proactiveness value), proactive compaction is started until its score
reaches its low threshold value.  By default, proactiveness is set to 20,
which implies threshold values of low=80 and high=90.

This patch is largely based on ideas from Michal Hocko [2].  See also the
LWN article [3].

Performance data
================

System: x64_64, 1T RAM, 80 CPU threads.
Kernel: 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch

echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

Before starting the driver, the system was fragmented from a userspace
program that allocates all memory and then for each 2M aligned section,
frees 3/4 of base pages using munmap.  The workload is mainly anonymous
userspace pages, which are easy to move around.  I intentionally avoided
unmovable pages in this test to see how much latency we incur when
hugepage allocations hit direct compaction.

1. Kernel hugepage allocation latencies

With the system in such a fragmented state, a kernel driver then allocates
as many hugepages as possible and measures allocation latency:

(all latency values are in microseconds)

- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3

Total 2M hugepages allocated = 384105 (750G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)

2. JAVA heap allocation

In this test, we first fragment memory using the same method as for (1).

Then, we start a Java process with a heap size set to 700G and request the
heap to be allocated with THP hugepages.  We also set THP to madvise to
allow hugepage backing of this heap.

/usr/bin/time
 java -Xms700G -Xmx700G -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch

The above command allocates 700G of Java heap using hugepages.

- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20

8.35user 194.58system 3:19.62elapsed

Elapsed time remains around 3:15, as proactiveness is further increased.

Note that proactive compaction happens throughout the runtime of these
workloads.  The situation of one-time compaction, sufficient to supply
hugepages for following allocation stream, can probably happen for more
extreme proactiveness values, like 80 or 90.

In the above Java workload, proactiveness is set to 20.  The test starts
with a node's score of 80 or higher, depending on the delay between the
fragmentation step and starting the benchmark, which gives more-or-less
time for the initial round of compaction.  As t he benchmark consumes
hugepages, node's score quickly rises above the high threshold (90) and
proactive compaction starts again, which brings down the score to the low
threshold level (80).  Repeat.

bpftrace also confirms proactive compaction running 20+ times during the
runtime of this Java benchmark.  kcompactd threads consume 100% of one of
the CPUs while it tries to bring a node's score within thresholds.

Backoff behavior
================

Above workloads produce a memory state which is easy to compact.  However,
if memory is filled with unmovable pages, proactive compaction should
essentially back off.  To test this aspect:

- Created a kernel driver that allocates almost all memory as hugepages
  followed by freeing first 3/4 of each hugepage.
- Set proactiveness=40
- Note that proactive_compact_node() is deferred maximum number of times
  with HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC of wait between each check
  (=> ~30 seconds between retries).
