      Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
       "This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
        as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
        will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
        the processes they refer to.
      
        With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
        pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
        its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
        to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
      
        With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
        example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
        process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
        parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
        rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
        in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
        process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
        quite handy.
      
        There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
        management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
        and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
        suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
        most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
        the future once they are needed.
      
        This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
        caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
        functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
        a pidfd.
      
        Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
        cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
      
            https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
      
        The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
        the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

      Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
       "New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
        "reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
        the core-mm as "System RAM".
      
        Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
        memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
        differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
        typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
        allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
        model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
        RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
        it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
        generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
        purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
        used to restore the memory assignment.
      
        One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
        data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
        NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
        at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
        requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
        administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
        lack security capable NVDIMMs.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
           include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
      
         - Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
      
         - Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
           address-range to the core-mm.
      
         - Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
           newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
      
      NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
      we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
      accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
      inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
      (not described) circumstances.
      
      And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
      RAM.  The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
      get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
      the user space tooling.
      
      Quoting Dan from another email:
       "The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
        and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
        for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
        notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
        background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
        kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
        case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
      
        I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
        tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
        making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
        the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
        possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
        application coordination"

      I thought Josef Bacik's patch to drop the mmap_sem was buggy, because
      when looking at the error cases, there was one case where we returned
      VM_FAULT_RETRY without actually dropping the mmap_sem.
      
      Josef had to explain to me (using small words) that yes, that's actually
      what we're supposed to do, and his patch was correct.  Which not only
      convinced me he knew what he was doing and I should stop arguing with
      him, but also that I should add a comment to the case I was confused
      about.

      KVM: doc: Document the life cycle of a VM and its resources · eca6be56
      Sean Christopherson authored
      The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states:
      
        There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the
        life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's
        cgroup.
      
      While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of
      the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state
      that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM
      process.  This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to
      the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life
      of its associated file descriptor.  In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is
      not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to
      zero.  A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep
      indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file
      descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed.
      
      The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which
      created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the
      ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm.  I.e. the child can keep
      the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference.
      
      Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct
      of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations.
      
      Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and
      undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut
      down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's
      resources.
      
      Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating
      process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release().  However, mmu_notifier
      isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator
      exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to
      ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In
      practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly
      configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of
      the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from
      the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to
      to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

      lock.  The idea is that we issue readahead and then go to lock the page
      while it is under IO and we want to not hold the mmap_sem during the IO.
      
      The problem with this is the assumption that the readahead does anything.
      In the case that the box is under extreme memory or IO pressure we may end
      up not reading anything at all for readahead, which means we will end up
      reading in the page under the mmap_sem.
      
      Even if the readahead does something, it could get throttled because of io
      pressure on the system and the process is in a lower priority cgroup.
      
      Holding the mmap_sem while doing IO is problematic because it can cause
      system-wide priority inversions.  Consider some large company that does a
      lot of web traffic.  This large company has load balancing logic in it's
      core web server, cause some engineer thought this was a brilliant plan.
      This load balancing logic gets statistics from /proc about the system,
      which trip over processes mmap_sem for various reasons.  Now the web
      server application is in a protected cgroup, but these other processes may
      not be, and if they are being throttled while their mmap_sem is held we'll
      stall, and cause this nice death spiral.
      
      Instead rework filemap fault path to drop the mmap sem at any point that
      we may do IO or block for an extended period of time.  This includes while
      issuing readahead, locking the page, or needing to call ->readpage because
      readahead did not occur.  Then once we have a fully uptodate page we can
      return with VM_FAULT_RETRY and come back again to find our nicely in-cache
      page that was gotten outside of the mmap_sem.
      
      This patch also adds a new helper for locking the page with the mmap_sem
      dropped.  This doesn't make sense currently as generally speaking if the
      page is already locked it'll have been read in (unless there was an error)
      before it was unlocked.  However a forthcoming patchset will change this
      with the ability to abort read-ahead bio's if necessary, making it more
      likely that we could contend for a page lock and still have a not uptodate
      page.  This allows us to deal with this case by grabbing the lock and
      issuing the IO without the mmap_sem held, and then returning
      VM_FAULT_RETRY to come back around.
