kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt cleaning it up by splitting out container_of() and typeof_member() macros. For time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users. Note, there are _a lot_ of headers and modules that include kernel.h solely for one of these macros and this allows to unburden compiler for the twisted inclusion paths and to make new code cleaner in the future.

Problem Description: When running running ~128 parallel instances of TZ=/etc/localtime ps -fe >/dev/null on a 128CPU machine, the %sys utilization reaches 97%, and perf shows the following code path as being responsible for heavy contention on the d_lockref spinlock: walk_component() lookup_fast() d_revalidate() pid_revalidate() // returns -ECHILD unlazy_child() lockref_get_not_dead(&nd->path.dentry->d_lockref) <-- contention The reason is that pid_revalidate() is triggering a drop from RCU to ref path walk mode. All concurrent path lookups thus try to grab a reference to the dentry for /proc/, before re-executing pid_revalidate() and then stepping into the /proc/$pid directory. Thus there is huge spinlock contention. This patch allows pid_revalidate() to execute in RCU mode, meaning that the path lookup can successfully enter the /proc/$pid directory while still in RCU mode. Later on, the path lookup may still drop into ref mode, but the contention will be much reduced at this point. By applying this patch, %sys utilization falls to around 85% under the same workload, and the number of ps processes executed per unit time increases by 3x-4x. Although this particular workload is a bit contrived, we have seen some large collections of eager monitoring scripts which produced similarly high %sys time due to contention in the /proc directory. As a result this patch, Al noted that several procfs methods which were only called in ref-walk mode could now be called from RCU mode. To ensure that this patch is safe, I audited all the inode get_link and permission() implementations, as well as dentry d_revalidate() implementations, in fs/proc. The purpose here is to ensure that they either are safe to call in RCU (i.e. don't sleep) or correctly bail out of RCU mode if they don't support it. My analysis shows that all at-risk procfs methods are safe to call under RCU, and thus this patch is safe. Procfs RCU-walk Analysis: This analysis is up-to-date with 5.15-rc3. When called under RCU mode, these functions have arguments as follows: * get_link() receives a NULL dentry pointer when called in RCU mode. * permission() receives MAY_NOT_BLOCK in the mode parameter when called from RCU. * d_revalidate() receives LOOKUP_RCU in flags. For the following functions, either they are trivially RCU safe, or they explicitly bail at the beginning of the function when they run: proc_ns_get_link (bails out) proc_get_link (RCU safe) proc_pid_get_link (bails out) map_files_d_revalidate (bails out) map_misc_d_revalidate (bails out) proc_net_d_revalidate (RCU safe) proc_sys_revalidate (bails out, also not under /proc/$pid) tid_fd_revalidate (bails out) proc_sys_permission (not under /proc/$pid) The remainder of the functions require a bit more detail: * proc_fd_permission: RCU safe. All of the body of this function is under rcu_read_lock(), except generic_permission() which declares itself RCU safe in its documentation string. * proc_self_get_link uses GFP_ATOMIC in the RCU case, so it is RCU aware and otherwise looks safe. The same is true of proc_thread_self_get_link. * proc_map_files_get_link: calls ns_capable, which calls capable(), and thus calls into the audit code (see note #1 below). The remainder is just a call to the trivially safe proc_pid_get_link(). * proc_pid_permission: calls ptrace_may_access(), which appears RCU safe, although it does call into the "security_ptrace_access_check()" hook, which looks safe under smack and selinux. Just the audit code is of concern. Also uses get_task_struct() and put_task_struct(), see note #2 below. * proc_tid_comm_permission: Appears safe, though calls put_task_struct (see note #2 below). Note #1: Most of the concern of RCU safety has centered around the audit code. However, since b17ec22f ("selinux: slow_avc_audit has become non-blocking"), it's safe to call this code under RCU. So all of the above are safe by my estimation. Note #2: get_task_struct() and put_task_struct(): The majority of get_task_struct() is under RCU read lock, and in any case it is a simple increment. But put_task_struct() is complex, given that it could at some point free the task struct, and this process has many steps which I couldn't manually verify. However, several other places call put_task_struct() under RCU, so it appears safe to use here too (see kernel/hung_task.c:165 or rcu/tree-stall.h:296) Patch description: pid_revalidate() drops from RCU into REF lookup mode. When many threads are resolving paths within /proc in parallel, this can result in heavy spinlock contention on d_lockref as each thread tries to grab a reference to the /proc dentry (and drop it shortly thereafter). Investigation indicates that it is not necessary to drop RCU in pid_revalidate(), as no RCU data is modified and the function never sleeps. So, remove the LOOKUP_RCU check.

Although virtio-mem currently supports reading unplugged memory in the hypervisor, this will change in the future, indicated to the device via a new feature flag. We similarly sanitized /proc/kcore access recently. [1] Let's register a vmcore callback, to allow vmcore code to check if a PFN belonging to a virtio-mem device is either currently plugged and should be dumped or is currently unplugged and should not be accessed, instead mapping the shared zeropage or returning zeroes when reading. This is important when not capturing /proc/vmcore via tools like "makedumpfile" that can identify logically unplugged virtio-mem memory via PG_offline in the memmap, but simply by e.g., copying the file. Distributions that support virtio-mem+kdump have to make sure that the virtio_mem module will be part of the kdump kernel or the kdump initrd; dracut was recently [2] extended to include virtio-mem in the generated initrd. As long as no special kdump kernels are used, this will automatically make sure that virtio-mem will be around in the kdump initrd and sanitize /proc/vmcore access -- with dracut. With this series, we'll send one virtio-mem state request for every ~2 MiB chunk of virtio-mem memory indicated in the vmcore that we intend to read/map. In the future, we might want to allow building virtio-mem for kdump mode only, even without CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG and friends: this way, we could support special stripped-down kdump kernels that have many other config options disabled; we'll tackle that once required. Further, we might want to try sensing bigger blocks (e.g., memory sections) first before falling back to device blocks on demand. Tested with Fedora rawhide, which contains a recent kexec-tools version (considering "System RAM (virtio_mem)" when creating the vmcore header) and a recent dracut version (including the virtio_mem module in the kdump initrd).

Let's support multiple registered callbacks, making sure that registering vmcore callbacks cannot fail. Make the callback return a bool instead of an int, handling how to deal with errors internally. Drop unused HAVE_OLDMEM_PFN_IS_RAM. We soon want to make use of this infrastructure from other drivers: virtio-mem, registering one callback for each virtio-mem device, to prevent reading unplugged virtio-mem memory. Handle it via a generic vmcore_cb structure, prepared for future extensions: for example, once we support virtio-mem on s390x where the vmcore is completely constructed in the second kernel, we want to detect and add plugged virtio-mem memory ranges to the vmcore in order for them to get dumped properly. Handle corner cases that are unexpected and shouldn't happen in sane setups: registering a callback after the vmcore has already been opened (warn only) and unregistering a callback after the vmcore has already been opened (warn and essentially read only zeroes from that point on).

After removing /dev/kmem, sanitizing /proc/kcore and handling /dev/mem, this series tackles the last sane way how a VM could accidentially access logically unplugged memory managed by a virtio-mem device: /proc/vmcore When dumping memory via "makedumpfile", PG_offline pages, used by virtio-mem to flag logically unplugged memory, are already properly excluded; however, especially when accessing/copying /proc/vmcore "the usual way", we can still end up reading logically unplugged memory part of a virtio-mem device. Patch #1-#3 are cleanups. Patch #4 extends the existing oldmem_pfn_is_ram mechanism. Patch #5-#7 are virtio-mem refactorings for patch #8, which implements the virtio-mem logic to query the state of device blocks. Patch #8: "Although virtio-mem currently supports reading unplugged memory in the hypervisor, this will change in the future, indicated to the device via a new feature flag. We similarly sanitized /proc/kcore access recently. [...] Distributions that support virtio-mem+kdump have to make sure that the virtio_mem module will be part of the kdump kernel or the kdump initrd; dracut was recently [2] extended to include virtio-mem in the generated initrd. As long as no special kdump kernels are used, this will automatically make sure that virtio-mem will be around in the kdump initrd and sanitize /proc/vmcore access -- with dracut" This is the last remaining bit to support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE [3] in the Linux implementation of virtio-mem. Note: this is best-effort. We'll never be able to control what runs inside the second kernel, really, but we also don't have to care: we only care about sane setups where we don't want our VM getting zapped once we touch the wrong memory location while dumping. While we usually expect sane setups to use "makedumfile", nothing really speaks against just copying /proc/vmcore, especially in environments where HWpoisioning isn't typically expected. Also, we really don't want to put all our trust completely on the memmap, so sanitizing also makes sense when just using "makedumpfile".

Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache. This caused problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones. To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to facilitate reclaiming lowmem. However, this comes with its own set of problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large git tree. It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings and can cause priority inversions between containers. Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache pages in order to detect refaults. We've come to rely heavily on this data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap behavior. We also use it to quantify and report workload health through psi. The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive reclaim and memory offloading schemes. The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing states while losing the ability to reliably detect it. To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating inodes on the LRU isn't feasible. We've tried (commit a76cf1a4 ("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed (commit 69056ee6 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages"")). The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as deferred reclaim work. This accumulates excessive pressure on the remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty of cold, clean cache around still. Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the first place - just like an open file or dirty state would. An otherwise clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry disappears. This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes. Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state (i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock). Page cache deletions are serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure depopulated inodes are queued reliably. Additions may race with deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker. If additions race with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode() or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

A kernel thread can exit gracefully with kthread_stop(). So we don't need a new flag 'kdamond_stop'. And to make sure the task struct is not freed when accessing it, get reference to it before termination. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211027130517.4404-1-changbin.du@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Some descriptions of page flags in 'pagemap.rst' are written in assumption of none-rst, which respects every new line, as below: 7 - SLAB page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head Because rst ignores the new line between the first sentence and second sentence, resulting html looks a little bit weird, as below. 7 - SLAB page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When ^ compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head page; SLOB will not flag it at all. This change makes it more natural and consistent with other parts in the rendered version. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211022090311.3856-5-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

Information in 'TL; DR' section of 'Getting Started' is duplicated in other parts of the doc. It is also asking readers to visit the access pattern visualizations gallery web site to show the results of example visualization commands, while the users of the commands can use terminal output. To make the doc simple, this removes the duplicated 'TL; DR' section and replaces the visualization example commands with versions using terminal outputs.

Patch series "Fix trivial nits in Documentation/admin-guide/mm". This patchset fixes trivial nits in admin guide documents for DAMON and pagemap. This patch (of 4): Some of the example commands in DAMON getting started guide are outdated, missing sudo, or just wrong. This fixes those.

When the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, I did some test on monitor_on interface like this. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/damon/target_ids # # echo on > /sys/kernel/debug/damon/monitor_on # damon: kdamond (5390) starts Though the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, but the kthread_run still be called, and the kdamond.x thread still be created, this is meaningless. So there adds a judgment in 'dbgfs_monitor_on_write', if the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, return -EINVAL.

This implements a new kernel subsystem that finds cold memory regions using DAMON and reclaims those immediately. It is intended to be used as proactive lightweigh reclamation logic for light memory pressure. For heavy memory pressure, it could be inactivated and fall back to the traditional page-scanning based reclamation. It's implemented on top of DAMON framework to use the DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) feature. It utilizes all the DAMOS features including speed limit, prioritization, and watermarks. It could be enabled and tuned in boot time via the kernel boot parameter, and in run time via its module parameters ('/sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/') interface.

DAMON-based operation schemes need to be manually turned on and off. In some use cases, however, the condition for turning a scheme on and off would depend on the system's situation. For example, schemes for proactive pages reclamation would need to be turned on when some memory pressure is detected, and turned off when the system has enough free memory. For easier control of schemes activation based on the system situation, this introduces a watermarks-based mechanism. The client can describe the watermark metric (e.g., amount of free memory in the system), watermark check interval, and three watermarks, namely high, mid, and low. If the scheme is deactivated, it only gets the metric and compare that to the three watermarks for every check interval. If the metric is higher than the high watermark, the scheme is deactivated. If the metric is between the mid watermark and the low watermark, the scheme is activated. If the metric is lower than the low watermark, the scheme is deactivated again. This is to allow users fall back to traditional page-granularity mechanisms. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211019150731.16699-12-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:
