New anonymous pages are always mapped natively: only THP/khugepaged code maps a new compound anonymous page and passes "true". Otherwise, we're just dealing with simple, non-compound pages. Let's give the interface clearer semantics and document these. Remove the PageTransCompound() sanity check from page_add_new_anon_rmap().

Let's prepare for passing RMAP_EXCLUSIVE, similarly as we do for page_add_anon_rmap() now. RMAP_COMPOUND is implicit for hugetlb pages and ignored. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220428083441.37290-8-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

... and instead convert page_add_anon_rmap() to accept flags. Passing flags instead of bools is usually nicer either way, and we want to more often also pass RMAP_EXCLUSIVE in follow up patches when detecting that an anonymous page is exclusive: for example, when restoring an anonymous page from a writable migration entry. This is a preparation for marking an anonymous page inside page_add_anon_rmap() as exclusive when RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is passed.

... and move the special check for pinned pages into page_try_dup_anon_rmap() to prepare for tracking exclusive anonymous pages via a new pageflag, clearing it only after making sure that there are no GUP pins on the anonymous page. We really only care about pins on anonymous pages, because they are prone to getting replaced in the COW handler once mapped R/O. For !anon pages in cow-mappings (!VM_SHARED && VM_MAYWRITE) we shouldn't really care about that, at least not that I could come up with an example. Let's drop the is_cow_mapping() check from page_needs_cow_for_dma(), as we know we're dealing with anonymous pages. Also, drop the handling of pinned pages from copy_huge_pud() and add a comment if ever supporting anonymous pages on the PUD level. This is a preparation for tracking exclusivity of anonymous pages in the rmap code, and disallowing marking a page shared (-> failing to duplicate) if there are GUP pins on a page.

Let's do it just like copy_page_range(), taking the seqlock and making sure the mmap_lock is held in write mode. This allows for add a VM_BUG_ON to page_needs_cow_for_dma() and properly synchronizes concurrent fork() with GUP-fast of hugetlb pages, which will be relevant for further changes.

Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 2: reliable GUP pins of anonymous pages", v4. This series is the result of the discussion on the previous approach [2]. More information on the general COW issues can be found there. It is based on latest linus/master (post v5.17, with relevant core-MM changes for v5.18-rc1). This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP pin (FOLL_PIN) was taken on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP pin lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables. This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3] under 3): " 3. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_PIN) page_maybe_dma_pinned() is used to check if a page may be pinned for DMA (using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET). While false positives are tolerable, false negatives are problematic: pages that are pinned for DMA must not be added to the swapcache. If it happens, the (now pinned) page could be faulted back from the swapcache into page tables read-only. Future write-access would detect the pinning and COW the page, losing synchronicity. For the interested reader, this is nicely documented in feb889fb ("mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap cache"). Peter reports [8] that page_maybe_dma_pinned() as used is racy in some cases and can result in a violation of the documented semantics: giving false negatives because of the race. There are cases where we call it without properly taking a per-process sequence lock, turning the usage of page_maybe_dma_pinned() racy. While one case (clear_refs SOFTDIRTY tracking, see below) seems to be easy to handle, there is especially one rmap case (shrink_page_list) that's hard to fix: in the rmap world, we're not limited to a single process. The shrink_page_list() issue is really subtle. If we race with someone pinning a page, we can trigger the same issue as in the FOLL_GET case. See the detail section at the end of this mail on a discussion how bad this can bite us with VFIO or other FOLL_PIN user. It's harder to reproduce, but I managed to modify the O_DIRECT reproducer to use io_uring fixed buffers [15] instead, which ends up using FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM to pin buffer pages and can similarly trigger a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption. Again, the root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has additional references results in a COW and thereby a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption if two parties believe they are referencing the same page. " This series makes GUP pins (R/O and R/W) on anonymous pages fully reliable, especially also taking care of concurrent pinning via GUP-fast, for example, also fully fixing an issue reported regarding NUMA balancing [4] recently. While doing that, it further reduces "unnecessary COWs", especially when we don't fork()/KSM and don't swapout, and fixes the COW security for hugetlb for FOLL_PIN. In summary, we track via a pageflag (PG_anon_exclusive) whether a mapped anonymous page is exclusive. Exclusive anonymous pages that are mapped R/O can directly be mapped R/W by the COW logic in the write fault handler. Exclusive anonymous pages that want to be shared (fork(), KSM) first have to be marked shared -- which will fail if there are GUP pins on the page. GUP is only allowed to take a pin on anonymous pages that are exclusive. The PT lock is the primary mechanism to synchronize modifications of PG_anon_exclusive. We synchronize against GUP-fast either via the src_mm->write_protect_seq (during fork()) or via clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry. Special care has to be taken about swap, migration, and THPs (whereby a PMD-mapping can be converted to a PTE mapping and we have to track information for subpages). Besides these, we let the rmap code handle most magic. For reliable R/O pins of anonymous pages, we need FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE logic as part of our previous approach [2], however, it's now 100% mapcount free and I further simplified it a bit. #1 is a fix #3-#10 are mostly rmap preparations for PG_anon_exclusive handling #11 introduces PG_anon_exclusive #12 uses PG_anon_exclusive and make R/W pins of anonymous pages reliable #13 is a preparation for reliable R/O pins #14 and #15 is reused/modified GUP-triggered unsharing for R/O GUP pins make R/O pins of anonymous pages reliable #16 adds sanity check when (un)pinning anonymous pages [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220131162940.210846-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211217113049.23850-1-david@redhat.com [3] https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com [4] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215616 This patch (of 17): In case arch_unmap_one() fails, we already did a swap_duplicate(). let's undo that properly via swap_free().

Currently, alloc_anon_noexit() calls alloc_anon() which instantly frees the allocated memory. alloc_anon_noexit() is usually used with cg_run_nowait() to run a process in the background that allocates memory. It makes sense for the background process to keep the memory allocated and not instantly free it (otherwise there is no point of running it in the background).

This patch series adds a memory.reclaim proactive reclaim interface. The rationale behind the interface and how it works are in the first patch. This patch (of 4): Introduce a memcg interface to trigger memory reclaim on a memory cgroup. Use case: Proactive Reclaim --------------------------- A userspace proactive reclaimer can continuously probe the memcg to reclaim a small amount of memory. This gives more accurate and up-to-date workingset estimation as the LRUs are continuously sorted and can potentially provide more deterministic memory overcommit behavior. The memory overcommit controller can provide more proactive response to the changing behavior of the running applications instead of being reactive. A userspace reclaimer's purpose in this case is not a complete replacement for kswapd or direct reclaim, it is to proactively identify memory savings opportunities and reclaim some amount of cold pages set by the policy to free up the memory for more demanding jobs or scheduling new jobs. A user space proactive reclaimer is used in Google data centers. Additionally, Meta's TMO paper recently referenced a very similar interface used for user space proactive reclaim: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3503222.3507731 Benefits of a user space reclaimer: ----------------------------------- 1) More flexible on who should be charged for the cpu of the memory reclaim. For proactive reclaim, it makes more sense to be centralized. 2) More flexible on dedicating the resources (like cpu). The memory overcommit controller can balance the cost between the cpu usage and the memory reclaimed. 3) Provides a way to the applications to keep their LRUs sorted, so, under memory pressure better reclaim candidates are selected. This also gives more accurate and uptodate notion of working set for an application. Why memory.high is not enough? ------------------------------ - memory.high can be used to trigger reclaim in a memcg and can potentially be used for proactive reclaim. However there is a big downside in using memory.high. It can potentially introduce high reclaim stalls in the target application as the allocations from the processes or the threads of the application can hit the temporary memory.high limit. - Userspace proactive reclaimers usually use feedback loops to decide how much memory to proactively reclaim from a workload. The metrics used for this are usually either refaults or PSI, and these metrics will become messy if the application gets throttled by hitting the high limit. - memory.high is a stateful interface, if the userspace proactive reclaimer crashes for any reason while triggering reclaim it can leave the application in a bad state. - If a workload is rapidly expanding, setting memory.high to proactively reclaim memory can result in actually reclaiming more memory than intended. The benefits of such interface and shortcomings of existing interface were further discussed in this RFC thread: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/5df21376-7dd1-bf81-8414-32a73cea45dd@google.com/ Interface: ---------- Introducing a very simple memcg interface 'echo 10M > memory.reclaim' to trigger reclaim in the target memory cgroup. The interface is introduced as a nested-keyed file to allow for future optional arguments to be easily added to configure the behavior of reclaim. Possible Extensions: -------------------- - This interface can be extended with an additional parameter or flags to allow specifying one or more types of memory to reclaim from (e.g. file, anon, ..). - The interface can also be extended with a node mask to reclaim from specific nodes. This has use cases for reclaim-based demotion in memory tiering systens. - A similar per-node interface can also be added to support proactive reclaim and reclaim-based demotion in systems without memcg. - Add a timeout parameter to make it easier for user space to call the interface without worrying about being blocked for an undefined amount of time. For now, let's keep things simple by adding the basic functionality.

Today it's only possible to write back as a page, idle, or huge. A user might want to writeback pages which are huge and idle first as these idle pages do not require decompression and make a good first pass for writeback. Idle writeback specifically has the advantage that a refault is unlikely given that the page has been swapped for some amount of time without being refaulted. Huge writeback has the advantage that you're guaranteed to get the maximum benefit from a single page writeback, that is, you're reclaiming one full page of memory. Pages which are compressed in zram being written back result in some benefit which is always less than a page size because of the fact that it was compressed. The primary use of this is for minimizing refaults in situations where the device has to be sensitive to storage endurance. On ChromeOS we have devices with slow eMMC and repeated writes and refaults can negatively affect performance and endurance.

Patch series "hugetlb: Fix some incorrect behavior", v3. This series fix three bugs of hugetlb: 1) Invalid use of nr_online_nodes; 2) Inconsistency between 1G hugepage and 2M hugepage; 3) Useless information in dmesg. This patch (of 4): Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes. In this case, nr_online_nodes can not be used to walk through numa node. Also, a valid node may be greater than nr_online_nodes. However, in hugetlb, it is assumed that nodes are contiguous. For sparse/discontiguous nodes, the current code may treat a valid node as invalid, and will fail to allocate all hugepages on a valid node that "nid >= nr_online_nodes". As David suggested: if (tmp >= nr_online_nodes) goto invalid; Just imagine node 0 and node 2 are online, and node 1 is offline. Assuming that "node < 2" is valid is wrong. Recheck all the places that use nr_online_nodes, and repair them one by one.

__add_memory_block() calls both put_device() and device_unregister() when storing the memory block into the xarray. This is incorrect because xarray doesn't take an additional reference and device_unregister() already calls put_device(). Triggering the issue looks really unlikely and its only effect should be to log a spurious warning about a ref counted issue.

It's not guaranteed that highest will be above the min_pfn. If highest is below the min_pfn, migrate_pfn and free_pfn can meet prematurely and lead to some useless work. Make sure highest is above min_pfn to avoid making a futile effort. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220418141253.24298-13-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

Since commit efe771c7 ("mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock"), compaction will always finish scanning a pageblock. And migrate_pfn is assured to align with pageblock_nr_pages when we reach here. So we will always return COMPACT_SUCCESS if a suitable fallback is found due to the below IS_ALIGNED check of migrate_pfn. Simplify the code to make this clear and improve the readability. No functional change intended. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220418141253.24298-12-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

When compact_result indicates that the allocation should now succeed, i.e. compact_result = COMPACT_SUCCESS, compaction_zonelist_suitable should return false because there is no need to do compaction now. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220418141253.24298-11-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

It's possible that kcompactd_run could fail to run kcompactd for a hot added node and leave pgdat->kcompactd as NULL. So pgdat->kcompactd should be checked here to avoid possible NULL pointer dereference. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220418141253.24298-10-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

Users may use ksm by calling madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) when they want to save memory, it's a tradeoff by suffering delay on ksm cow. Users can get to know how much memory ksm saved by reading /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing, but they don't know what's the costs of ksm cow, and this is important of some delay sensitive tasks. So add ksm cow events to help users evaluate whether or how to use ksm. Also update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst with new added events.
