Patch series "userfaultfd: convert userfaultfd functions to use folios", v6. This patch series converts several userfaultfd functions to use folios. This patch (of 6): Call vma_alloc_folio() directly instead of alloc_page_vma() and convert page_kaddr to kaddr in mfill_atomic_pte_copy(). Removes several calls to compound_head().

When !CONFIG_SHMEM smaps_shmem_walk_ops is defined but not used, triggering a compiler warning. To avoid the warning remove the #ifdef around the usage. This has no effect because shmem_mapping() is a stub returning false when !CONFIG_SHMEM so the code will be compiled out, however we now need to also provide a stub for shmem_swap_usage().

Commit 700d2e9a ("mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks") has introduced a new static key check_pages_enabled to control when struct pages are sanity checked during allocation and freeing. Mel Gorman suggested that free_tail_pages_check() could use this static key as well, instead of relying on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. That makes sense, so do that. Also rename the function to free_tail_page_prepare() because it works on a single tail page and has a struct page preparation component as well as the optional checking component. Also remove some unnecessary unlikely() within static_branch_unlikely() statements that Mel pointed out for commit 700d2e9a.

If we end up with a writable migration entry that has the uffd-wp bit set, we already messed up: the source PTE/PMD was writable, which means we could have modified the page without notifying uffd first. Setting the uffd-wp bit always implies converting migration entries to !writable migration entries. Commit 8f34f1ea ("mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for fork()") documents that "3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write migration huge pmd entry", but it doesn't really say why that should be relevant. So let's remove that code to avoid hiding an eventual underlying issue (in the future, we might want to warn when creating writable migration entries that have the uffd-wp bit set -- or even better when turning a PTE writable that still has the uffd-wp bit set). This now matches the handling for hugetlb migration entries in hugetlb_change_protection(). In copy_huge_pmd()/copy_nonpresent_pte()/copy_hugetlb_page_range(), we still transfer the uffd-bit also for writable migration entries, but simply because we have unified handling for "writable" and "readable-exclusive" migration entries, and we care about transferring the uffd-wp bit for the latter.

If a library wants to get information from auxv (for instance, AT_HWCAP/AT_HWCAP2), it has a few options, none of them perfectly reliable or ideal: - Be main or the pre-main startup code, and grub through the stack above main. Doesn't work for a library. - Call libc getauxval. Not ideal for libraries that are trying to be libc-independent and/or don't otherwise require anything from other libraries. - Open and read /proc/self/auxv. Doesn't work for libraries that may run in arbitrarily constrained environments that may not have /proc mounted (e.g. libraries that might be used by an init program or a container setup tool). - Assume you're on the main thread and still on the original stack, and try to walk the stack upwards, hoping to find auxv. Extremely bad idea. - Ask the caller to pass auxv in for you. Not ideal for a user-friendly library, and then your caller may have the same problem. Add a prctl that copies current->mm->saved_auxv to a userspace buffer. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/d81864a7f7f43bca6afa2a09fc2e850e4050ab42.1680611394.git.josh@joshtriplett.orgSigned-off-by:

cgroups v1 has a unique way of setting up memory pressure notifications: the user opens "memory.pressure_level" of the cgroup they want to monitor for pressure, then open "cgroup.event_control" and write the fd (among other things) to that file. memory.pressure_level has no other use, specifically it does not support any read or write operations. Consequently, no handlers are provided, and cgroup_file_mode() sets the permissions to 000. However, to actually use the mechanism, the subscribing user must have read access to the file and open the fd for reading, see memcg_write_event_control(). This is all fine as long as the subscribing process runs as root and is otherwise unconfined by further restrictions. However, if you add strict access controls such as selinux, the permission bits will be enforced, and opening memory.pressure_level for reading will fail, preventing the process from subscribing, even as root. To work around this issue, introduce a dummy read handler. When memory.pressure_level is created, cgroup_file_mode() will notice the existence of a handler, and therefore add read permissions to the file.

Make sure that collapse_file doesn't interfere with checking the uptodate flag in the page cache by only inserting hpage into the page cache after it has been updated and marked uptodate. This is achieved by simply not replacing present pages with hpage when iterating over the target range. The present pages are already locked, so replacing them with the locked hpage before the collapse is finalized is unnecessary. However, it is necessary to stop freezing the present pages after validating them, since leaving long-term frozen pages in the page cache can lead to deadlocks. Simply checking the reference count is sufficient to ensure that there are no long-term references hanging around that would the collapse would break. Similar to hpage, there is no reason that the present pages actually need to be frozen in addition to being locked. This fixes a race where folio_seek_hole_data would mistake hpage for an fallocated but unwritten page. This race is visible to userspace via data temporarily disappearing from SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE. This also fixes a similar race where pages could temporarily disappear from mincore.

Make sure that collapse_file respects any userfaultfds registered with MODE_MISSING. If userspace has any such userfaultfds registered, then for any page which it knows to be missing, it may expect a UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT. This means collapse_file needs to be careful when collapsing a shmem range would result in replacing an empty page with a THP, to avoid breaking userfaultfd. Synchronization when checking for userfaultfds in collapse_file is tricky because the mmap locks can't be used to prevent races with the registration of new userfaultfds. Instead, we provide synchronization by ensuring that userspace cannot observe the fact that pages are missing before we check for userfaultfds. Although this allows registration of a userfaultfd to race with collapse_file, it ensures that userspace cannot observe any pages transition from missing to present after such a race occurs. This makes such a race indistinguishable to the collapse occurring immediately before the userfaultfd registration. The first step to provide this synchronization is to stop filling gaps during the loop iterating over the target range, since the page cache lock can be dropped during that loop. The second step is to fill the gaps with XA_RETRY_ENTRY after the page cache lock is acquired the final time, to avoid races with accesses to the page cache that only take the RCU read lock. The fact that we don't fill holes during the initial iteration means that collapse_file now has to handle faults occurring during the collapse. This is done by re-validating the number of missing pages after acquiring the page cache lock for the final time. This fix is targeted at khugepaged, but the change also applies to MADV_COLLAPSE. MADV_COLLAPSE on a range with a userfaultfd will now return EBUSY if there are any missing pages (instead of succeeding on shmem and returning EINVAL on anonymous memory). There is also now a window during MADV_COLLAPSE where a fault on a missing page will cause the syscall to fail with EAGAIN. The fact that intermediate page cache state can no longer be observed before the rollback of a failed collapse is also technically a userspace-visible change (via at least SEEK_DATA and SEEK_END), but it is exceedingly unlikely that anything relies on being able to observe that transient state.

Patch series "mm/khugepaged: fixes for khugepaged+shmem", v6. This series reworks collapse_file so that the intermediate state of the collapse does not leak out of collapse_file. Although this makes collapse_file a bit more complicated, it means that the rest of the kernel doesn't have to deal with the unusual state. This directly fixes races with both lseek and mincore. This series also fixes the fact that khugepaged completely breaks userfaultfd+shmem. The rework of collapse_file provides a convenient place to check for registered userfaultfds without making the shmem userfaultfd implementation care about khugepaged. Finally, this series adds a lru_add_drain after swapping in shmem pages, which makes the subsequent folio_isolate_lru significantly more likely to succeed. This patch (of 4): Call lru_add_drain after swapping in shmem pages so that isolate_lru_page is more likely to succeed.

Make collapse_file roll back when copying pages failed. More concretely: - extract copying operations into a separate loop - postpone the updates for nr_none until both scanning and copying succeeded - postpone joining small xarray entries until both scanning and copying succeeded - postpone the update operations to NR_XXX_THPS until both scanning and copying succeeded - for non-SHMEM file, roll back filemap_nr_thps_inc if scan succeeded but copying failed Tested manually: 0. Enable khugepaged on system under test. Mount tmpfs at /mnt/ramdisk. 1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of non-huge memory buffer from /mnt/ramdisk. 2. Pick 4 random buffer address (2 in each thread) and inject uncorrectable memory errors at physical addresses. 3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e. calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE). 4. Wait and then check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from poisoned pages by skipping them. 5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no data corruption.

Problem ======= Memory DIMMs are subject to multi-bit flips, i.e. memory errors. As memory size and density increase, the chances of and number of memory errors increase. The increasing size and density of server RAM in the data center and cloud have shown increased uncorrectable memory errors. There are already mechanisms in the kernel to recover from uncorrectable memory errors. This series of patches provides the recovery mechanism for the particular kernel agent khugepaged when it collapses memory pages. Impact ====== The main reason we chose to make khugepaged collapsing tolerant of memory failures was its high possibility of accessing poisoned memory while performing functionally optional compaction actions. Standard applications typically don't have strict requirements on the size of its pages. So they are given 4K pages by the kernel. The kernel is able to improve application performance by either 1) giving applications 2M pages to begin with, or 2) collapsing 4K pages into 2M pages when possible. This collapsing operation is done by khugepaged, a kernel agent that is constantly scanning memory. When collapsing 4K pages into a 2M page, it must copy the data from the 4K pages into a physically contiguous 2M page. Therefore, as long as there exists one poisoned cache line in collapsible 4K pages, khugepaged will eventually access it. The current impact to users is a machine check exception triggered kernel panic. However, khugepaged’s compaction operations are not functionally required kernel actions. Therefore making khugepaged tolerant to poisoned memory will greatly improve user experience. This patch series is for cases where khugepaged is the first guy that detects the memory errors on the poisoned pages. IOW, the pages are not known to have memory errors when khugepaged collapsing gets to them. In our observation, this happens frequently when the huge page ratio of the system is relatively low, which is fairly common in virtual machines running on cloud. Solution ======== As stated before, it is less desirable to crash the system only because khugepaged accesses poisoned pages while it is collapsing 4K pages. The high level idea of this patch series is to skip the group of pages (usually 512 4K-size pages) once khugepaged finds one of them is poisoned, as these pages have become ineligible to be collapsed. We are also careful to unwind operations khuagepaged has performed before it detects memory failures. For example, before copying and collapsing a group of anonymous pages into a huge page, the source pages will be isolated and their page table is unlinked from their PMD. These operations need to be undone in order to ensure these pages are not changed/lost from the perspective of other threads (both user and kernel space). As for file backed memory pages, there already exists a rollback case. This patch just extends it so that khugepaged also correctly rolls back when it fails to copy poisoned 4K pages. This patch (of 3): Make __collapse_huge_page_copy return whether copying anonymous pages succeeded, and make collapse_huge_page handle the return status. Break existing PTE scan loop into two for-loops. The first loop copies source pages into target huge page, and can fail gracefully when running into memory errors in source pages. If copying all pages succeeds, the second loop releases and clears up these normal pages. Otherwise, the second loop rolls back the page table and page states by: - re-establishing the original PTEs-to-PMD connection. - releasing source pages back to their LRU list. Tested manually: 0. Enable khugepaged on system under test. 1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of non-huge anonymous memory buffer. 2. Pick 4 random buffer locations (2 in each thread) and inject uncorrectable memory errors at corresponding physical addresses. 3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e. calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE). 4. Wait and check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from poisoned pages and skips collapsing them. 5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no data corruption.

Currently, all contexts that flush memcg stats do so with sleeping not allowed. Some of these contexts are perfectly safe to sleep in, such as reading cgroup files from userspace or the background periodic flusher. Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where possible. Refactor the code to make mem_cgroup_flush_stats() non-atomic (aka sleepable), and provide a separate atomic version. The atomic version is used in reclaim, refault, writeback, and in mem_cgroup_usage(). All other code paths are left to use the non-atomic version. This includes callbacks for userspace reads and the periodic flusher. Since refault is the only caller of mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(), change it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(). Reclaim and refault code paths are modified to do non-atomic flushing in separate later patches -- so it will eventually be changed back to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

As Johannes notes in [1], stats_flush_lock is currently used to: (a) Protect updated to stats_flush_threshold. (b) Protect updates to flush_next_time. (c) Serializes calls to cgroup_rstat_flush() based on those ratelimits. However: 1. stats_flush_threshold is already an atomic 2. flush_next_time is not atomic. The writer is locked, but the reader is lockless. If the reader races with a flush, you could see this: if (time_after(jiffies, flush_next_time)) spin_trylock() flush_next_time = now + delay flush() spin_unlock() spin_trylock() flush_next_time = now + delay flush() spin_unlock() which means we already can get flushes at a higher frequency than FLUSH_TIME during races. But it isn't really a problem. The reader could also see garbled partial updates if the compiler decides to split the write, so it needs at least READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE protection. 3. Serializing cgroup_rstat_flush() calls against the ratelimit factors is currently broken because of the race in 2. But the race is actually harmless, all we might get is the occasional earlier flush. If there is no delta, the flush won't do much. And if there is, the flush is justified. So the lock can be removed all together. However, the lock also served the purpose of preventing a thundering herd problem for concurrent flushers, see [2]. Use an atomic instead to serve the purpose of unifying concurrent flushers.

Currently, the only context in which we can invoke an rstat flush from irq context is through mem_cgroup_usage() on the root memcg when called from memcg_check_events(). An rstat flush is an expensive operation that should not be done in irq context, so do not flush stats and use the stale stats in this case. Arguably, usage threshold events are not reliable on the root memcg anyway since its usage is ill-defined. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230330191801.1967435-4-yosryahmed@google.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "memcg: avoid flushing stats atomically where possible", v3. rstat flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and the number of cgroups in the system. The purpose of this series is to minimize the contexts where we flush stats atomically. Patches 1 and 2 are cleanups requested during reviews of prior versions of this series. Patch 3 makes sure we never try to flush from within an irq context. Patches 4 to 7 introduce separate variants of mem_cgroup_flush_stats() for atomic and non-atomic flushing, and make sure we only flush the stats atomically when necessary. Patch 8 is a slightly tangential optimization that limits the work done by rstat flushing in some scenarios. This patch (of 8): cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe() can be a confusing name. It may read as "irqs are disabled throughout", which is what the current implementation does (currently under discussion [1]), but is not the intention. The intention is that this function is safe to call from atomic contexts. Name it as such.

In __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free(), we will set and check canary. Assuming that the size of the object is close to 0, nearly 4k memory accesses are required because setting and checking canary is executed byte by byte. canary is now defined like this: KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN(addr) ((u8)0xaa ^ (u8)((unsigned long)(addr) & 0x7)) Observe that canary is only related to the lower three bits of the address, so every 8 bytes of canary are the same. We can access 8-byte canary each time instead of byte-by-byte, thereby optimizing nearly 4k memory accesses to 4k/8 times. Use the bcc tool funclatency to measure the latency of __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free(), the numbers (deleted the distribution of latency) is posted below. Though different object sizes will have an impact on the measurement, we ignore it for now and assume the average object size is roughly equal. Before patching: __kfence_alloc: avg = 5055 nsecs, total: 5515252 nsecs, count: 1091 __kfence_free: avg = 5319 nsecs, total: 9735130 nsecs, count: 1830 After patching: __kfence_alloc: avg = 3597 nsecs, total: 6428491 nsecs, count: 1787 __kfence_free: avg = 3046 nsecs, total: 3415390 nsecs, count: 1121 The numbers indicate that there is ~30% - ~40% performance improvement.

Patch series "Delay the initialization of zswap", v9. In the initialization of zswap, about 18MB memory will be allocated for zswap_pool. Since some users may not use zswap, the zswap_pool is wasted. Save memory by delaying the initialization of zswap until enabled. This patch (of 3): Remove zswap_entry_cache_create and zswap_entry_cache_destroy and use kmem_cache_* function directly.

kmemleak-test.c was moved to the samples directory in 1abbef4f ("mm,kmemleak-test.c: move kmemleak-test.c to samples dir"). If CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST=m and CONFIG_SAMPLES is unset, kmemleak-test.c will be unnecessarily compiled. So move the entry for CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST from mm/Kconfig and add a new CONFIG_SAMPLE_KMEMLEAK in samples/ to control whether kmemleak-test.c is built or not.

sh defines insane ranges for ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER allowing MAX_ORDER up to 63, which implies maximal contiguous allocation size of 2^63 pages. Drop bogus definitions of ranges for ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER and leave it a simple integer with sensible defaults. Users that *really* need to change the value of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER will be able to do so but they won't be mislead by the bogus ranges.
