The shmem_writepage() uses GFP_ATOMIC to allocate swap cache. GFP_ATOMIC used to mean __GFP_HIGH, but now it means __GFP_HIGH | __GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. However, shmem_writepage() should write out to swap only in response to memory pressure, so __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM looks useless since the caller may be kswapd itself or in direct reclaim already. In addition, XArray node allocations from PF_MEMALLOC contexts could completely exhaust the page allocator, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC stops emergency reserves from being allocated. Here just copy the gfp flags used by add_to_swap(). Hugh: "a cleanup to make the two calls look the same when they don't need to be different (whereas the call from __read_swap_cache_async() rightly uses a lower priority gfp)".

As the first step of the solution the following patch limits the availably of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK only for those having CAP_SYS_PTRACE. The usage of CAP_SYS_PTRACE ensures compatibility with CRIU. Yet, if there are other users of non-cooperative userfaultfd that run without CAP_SYS_PTRACE, they would be broken :( Current implementation of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK modifies the file descriptor table from the read() implementation of uffd, which may have security implications for unprivileged use of the userfaultfd.

In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state already. So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary too. So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of NUMA balancing page table scanning. In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20 read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97% (that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.

When zone_watermark_ok() is called in migrate_balanced_pgdat() to check migration target node, the parameter classzone_idx (for requested zone) is specified as 0 (ZONE_DMA). But when allocating memory for autonuma in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), the requested zone from GFP flags is ZONE_MOVABLE. That is, the requested zone is different. The size of lowmem_reserve for the different requested zone is different. And this may cause some issues. For example, in the zoneinfo of a test machine as below, Node 0, zone DMA32 pages free 61592 min 29 low 454 high 879 spanned 1044480 present 442306 managed 425921 protection: (0, 0, 62457, 62457, 62457) The free page number of ZONE_DMA32 is greater than "high watermark + lowmem_reserve[ZONE_DMA]", but less than "high watermark + lowmem_reserve[ZONE_MOVABLE]". And because __alloc_pages_node() in alloc_misplaced_dst_page() requests ZONE_MOVABLE, the zone_watermark_ok() on ZONE_DMA32 in migrate_balanced_pgdat() may always return true. So, autonuma may not stop even when memory pressure in node 0 is heavy. To fix the issue, ZONE_MOVABLE is used as parameter to call zone_watermark_ok() in migrate_balanced_pgdat(). This makes it same as requested zone in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(). So that migrate_balanced_pgdat() returns false when memory pressure is heavy.

When doing migration if the freed page is met, we just return without migrating it since it is pointless to migrate a freed page. But, the current code allocates target page unconditionally before handling freed page, if the page is freed, the newly allocated will be just freed. It doesn't make too much sense and is just a waste of time although migrating freed page is rare. So, handle freed page at the before that to avoid unnecessary page allocation and free.

When mmapping an existing hugetlbfs file with MAP_POPULATE, we find it is very time consuming. For example, mmapping a 128GB file takes about 50 milliseconds. Sampling with perfevent shows it spends 99% time in the same_page loop in follow_hugetlb_page(). samples: 205 of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 136686374 - 99.04% test_mmap_huget [kernel.kallsyms] [k] follow_hugetlb_page follow_hugetlb_page __get_user_pages __mlock_vma_pages_range __mm_populate vm_mmap_pgoff sys_mmap_pgoff sys_mmap system_call_fastpath __mmap64 follow_hugetlb_page() is called with pages=NULL and vmas=NULL, so for each hugepage, we run into the same_page loop for pages_per_huge_page() times, but doing nothing. With this change, it takes less then 1 millisecond to mmap a 128GB file in hugetlbfs.

Current behavior is that region_chg provides both a cache entry in resv->region_cache, AND a placeholder entry in resv->regions. region_add first tries to use the placeholder, and if it finds that the placeholder has been deleted by a racing region_del call, it uses the cache entry. This behavior is completely unnecessary and is removed in this patch for a couple of reasons: 1. region_add needs to either find a cached file_region entry in resv->region_cache, or find an entry in resv->regions to expand. It does not need both. 2. region_chg adding a placeholder entry in resv->regions opens up a possible race with region_del, where region_chg adds a placeholder region in resv->regions, and this region is deleted by a racing call to region_del during region_chg execution or before region_add is called. Removing the race makes the code easier to reason about and maintain. In addition, a follow up patch in another series that disables region coalescing, which would be further complicated if the race with region_del exists.

A customer with large SMP systems (up to 16 sockets) with application that uses large amount of static hugepages (~500-1500GB) are experiencing random multisecond delays. These delays were caused by the long time it took to scan the VMA interval tree with mmap_sem held. The sharing of huge PMD does not require changes to the i_mmap at all. Therefore, we can just take the read lock and let other threads searching for the right VMA share it in parallel. Once the right VMA is found, either the PMD lock (2M huge page for x86-64) or the mm->page_table_lock will be acquired to perform the actual PMD sharing. Lock contention, if present, will happen in the spinlock. That is much better than contention in the rwsem where the time needed to scan the the interval tree is indeterminate. With this patch applied, the customer is seeing significant performance improvement over the unpatched kernel. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191107211809.9539-1-longman@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

With hugetlbfs, a common pattern for mapping anonymous huge pages is to create a temporary file first. Currently libraries like libhugetlbfs and seastar create these with a standard mkstemp+unlink trick, but it would be more robust to be able to simply pass the O_TMPFILE flag to open(). O_TMPFILE is already supported by several file systems like ext4 and xfs. The implementation simply uses the existi= ng d_tmpfile utility function to instantiate the dcache entry for the file. Tested manually by successfully creating a temporary file by opening it with (O_TMPFILE|O_RDWR) on mounted hugetlbfs and successfully mapping 2M huge pages with it. Without the patch, trying to open a file with O_TMPFILE results in -ENOSUP. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/bc9383eff6e1374d79f3a92257ae829ba1e6ae60.1573285189.git.p.sarna@tlen.plSigned-off-by:

Patch series "hugetlbfs: convert macros to static inline, fix sparse warning". The definition for huge_pte_offset() in <linux/hugetlb.h> causes a sparse warning in the !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Fix this as well as converting all macros in this block of definitions to static inlines for better type checking. When making the above changes, build errors were found in powerpc due to duplicate definitions. A separate powerpc specific patch is included as a requisite to remove the definitions and get them from <linux/hugetlb.h>. This patch (of 2): This removes the power specific stubs created by commit aad71e39 ("powerpc/mm: Fix build break with RADIX=y & HUGETLBFS=n") used when !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Instead, it addresses the build break by getting the definitions from <linux/hugetlb.h>. This allows the macros in <linux/hugetlb.h> to be replaced with static inlines.

It is assumed that the hugetlbfs_vfsmount[] array will contain either a valid vfsmount pointer or NULL for each hstate after initialization. Changes made while converting to use fs_context broke this assumption. While fixing the hugetlbfs_vfsmount issue, it was discovered that init_hugetlbfs_fs never did correctly clean up when encountering a vfs mount error. It was found during code inspection. A small memory allocation failure would be the most likely cause of taking a error path with the bug. This is unlikely to happen as this is early init code.

Normally, the page management structure will not exceed 2% of the total memory, but a large continuous block of allocation is needed. In most cases, memory allocation from the specified node will succeed, but a node memory become highly fragmented will fail. we expect to allocate memory base section rather than by allocating a large block of memory from other NUMA nodes Add memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() for this situation, which allocate boot memory block on the exact node. If a large contiguous block memory allocate fail in sparse_buffer_init(), it will fall back to allocate small block memory base section.

In current implementation, below rules are applied for this checking: 1: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be reported as EFAULT if mbind() for none MPOL_DEFAULT cases; 2: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be ignored (do not reprot EFAULT) if mbind() for MPOL_DEFAULT case; 3: The whole range in an unmapped hole should be reported as EFAULT; Note that rule 2 does not fullfill the mbind() API definition, but since that behavior has existed for long days (the internal flag MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK is for this purpose), this patch does not plan to change it. In current code, application observed inconsistent behavior on rule 1 and rule 2 respectively. That inconsistency is fixed as below details. Cases of rule 1: - Hole at head side of range. Current code reprot EFAULT, no change by this patch. [ vma ][ hole ][ vma ] [ range ] - Hole at middle of range. Current code report EFAULT, no change by this patch. [ vma ][ hole ][ vma ] [ range ] - Hole at tail side of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, this patch fixes it. [ vma ][ hole ][ vma ] [ range ] Cases of rule 2: - Hole at head side of range. Current code reports EFAULT, this patch fixes it. [ vma ][ hole ][ vma ] [ range ] - Hole at middle of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no change by this patch. [ vma ][ hole ][ vma] [ range ] - Hole at tail side of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no change by this patch. [ vma ][ hole ][ vma] [ range ] This patch has no changes to rule 3. The unmapped hole checking can also be handled by using .pte_hole(), instead of .test_walk(). But .pte_hole() is called for holes inside and outside vma, which causes more cost, so this patch keeps the original design with .test_walk().

Patch series "mm: Fix checking unmapped holes for mbind", v4. This patchset fix checking unmapped holes for mbind(). First patch makes sure the vma been correctly tracked in .test_walk(), so each time when .test_walk() is called, the neighborhood of two vma is correct. Current problem is that the !vma_migratable() check could cause return immediately without update tracking to vma. Second patch fix the inconsistent report of EFAULT when mbind() is called for MPOL_DEFAULT and non MPOL_DEFAULT cases, so application do not need to have workaround code to handle this special behavior. Currently there are two problems, one is that the .test_walk() can not know there is hole at tail side of range, because .test_walk() only call for vma not for hole. The other one is that mbind_range() checks for hole at head side of range but do not consider the MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK flag as done in .test_walk(). This patch (of 2): Checking unmapped hole and updating the previous vma must be handled first, otherwise the unmapped hole could be calculated from a wrong previous vma. Several commits were relevant to this error: - commit 6f4576e3 ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on queue_pages_range()") This commit was correct, the VM_PFNMAP check was after updating previous vma - commit 48684a65 ("mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)") This commit added VM_PFNMAP check before updating previous vma. Then, there were two VM_PFNMAP check did same thing twice. - commit acda0c33 ("mm/mempolicy.c: get rid of duplicated check for vma(VM_PFNMAP) in queue_page s_range()") This commit tried to fix the duplicated VM_PFNMAP check, but it wrongly removed the one which was after updating vma.

For each page scheduled for compaction (e. g. by z3fold_free()), try to apply inter-page compaction before running the traditional/ existing intra-page compaction. That means, if the page has only one buddy, we treat that buddy as a new object that we aim to place into an existing z3fold page. If such a page is found, that object is transferred and the old page is freed completely. The transferred object is named "foreign" and treated slightly differently thereafter. Namely, we increase "foreign handle" counter for the new page. Pages with non-zero "foreign handle" count become unmovable. This patch implements "foreign handle" detection when a handle is freed to decrement the foreign handle counter accordingly, so a page may as well become movable again as the time goes by. As a result, we almost always have exactly 3 objects per page and significantly better average compression ratio.

Currently, the drop_caches proc file and sysctl read back the last value written, suggesting this is somehow a stateful setting instead of a one-time command. Make it write-only, like e.g. compact_memory. While mitigating a VM problem at scale in our fleet, there was confusion about whether writing to this file will permanently switch the kernel into a non-caching mode. This influences the decision making in a tense situation, where tens of people are trying to fix tens of thousands of affected machines: Do we need a rollback strategy? What are the performance implications of operating in a non-caching state for several days? It also caused confusion when the kernel team said we may need to write the file several times to make sure it's effective ("But it already reads back 3?").
