Patch series "Update LZ4 compressor module", v7. This patchset updates the LZ4 compression module to a version based on LZ4 v1.7.3 allowing to use the fast compression algorithm aka LZ4 fast which provides an "acceleration" parameter as a tradeoff between high compression ratio and high compression speed. We want to use LZ4 fast in order to support compression in lustre and (mostly, based on that) investigate data reduction techniques in behalf of storage systems. Also, it will be useful for other users of LZ4 compression, as with LZ4 fast it is possible to enable applications to use fast and/or high compression depending on the usecase. For instance, ZRAM is offering a LZ4 backend and could benefit from an updated LZ4 in the kernel.

The kernel module is inspired by the previous work by Chanho Min. The updated LZ4 module will not break existing code since the patchset contains appropriate changes. API changes: New method LZ4_compress_fast which differs from the variant available in kernel by the new acceleration parameter, allowing to trade compression ratio for more compression speed and vice versa. LZ4_decompress_fast is the respective decompression method, featuring a very fast decoder (multiple GB/s per core), able to reach RAM speed in multi-core systems. The decompressor allows to decompress data compressed with LZ4 fast as well as the LZ4 HC (high compression) algorithm. Also the useful functions LZ4_decompress_safe_partial and LZ4_compress_destsize were added. The latter reverses the logic by trying to compress as much data as possible from source to dest while the former aims to decompress partial blocks of data. A bunch of streaming functions were also added which allow compressig/decompressing data in multiple steps (so called "streaming mode"). The methods lz4_compress and lz4_decompress_unknownoutputsize are now known as LZ4_compress_default respectivley LZ4_decompress_safe. The old methods will be removed since there's no callers left in the code.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: lib/Kconfig.debug:config TEST_SORT lib/Kconfig.debug: bool "Array-based sort test" ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that when reading the code there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering becomes slightly earlier when we change it to use subsys_initcall as done here. However, since it is a self contained test, this shouldn't be an issue and subsys_initcall seems like a better fit for this particular case. We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag since that information is now contained at the top of the file in the comments.

While working on a thermal driver I encounter a scenario where the divisor could be negative, instead of adding local code to handle this I though I first try to add support for this in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST. Add support to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST for negative divisors if both dividend and divisor variable types are signed. This should not alter current behavior for users of the macro as previously negative divisors where not supported.

This saves 32 bytes on my x86-64 build, mostly due to alignment considerations and sharing more code between find_next_bit and find_next_zero_bit, but it does save a couple of instructions. There's really two parts to this commit: - First, the first half of the test: (!nbits || start >= nbits) is trivially a subset of the second half, since nbits and start are both unsigned - Second, while looking at the disassembly, I noticed that GCC was predicting the branch taken. Since this is a failure case, it's clearly the less likely of the two branches, so add an unlikely() to override GCC's heuristics.

The CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro was designed to have callers do something meaningful/protective on failure. However, using "return false" in the macro too strictly limits the design patterns of callers. Instead, let callers handle the logic test directly, but make sure that the result IS checked by forcing __must_check (which appears to not be able to be used directly on macro expressions).

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal integers 0, 1, 2. Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the checking more expressive: 0 → HIDEPID_OFF 1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS 2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.

Make a kasan test which uses a SLAB_ACCOUNT slab cache. If the test is run within a non default memcg, then it uncovers the bug fixed by "kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects"[1]. If run without fix [1] it shows "Slab cache still has objects", and the kmem_cache structure is leaked. Here's an unpatched kernel test: $ dmesg -c > /dev/null $ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test $ echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks $ modprobe test_kasan 2> /dev/null $ dmesg | grep -B1 still [ 123.456789] kasan test: memcg_accounted_kmem_cache allocate memcg accounted object [ 124.456789] kmem_cache_destroy test_cache: Slab cache still has objects Kernels with fix [1] don't have the "Slab cache still has objects" warning or the underlying leak. The new test runs and passes in the default (root) memcg, though in the root memcg it won't uncover the problem fixed by [1].

Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache destruction. - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg. - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg kmem_cache. - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free() defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine. - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg kmem cache being destroyed. To see the problem: 1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,) 2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache 3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy() will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked. Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non root memcg. Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled. kmem_cache_destroy() => shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache() flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches(). This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is enabled. So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

Commit 31bc3858 ("add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory") provides the capability to have added memory automatically onlined during add, but this appears to be slightly broken. The current implementation uses walk_memory_range() to call online_memory_block, which uses memory_block_change_state() to online the memory. Instead, we should be calling device_online() for the memory block in online_memory_block(). This would online the memory (the memory bus online routine memory_subsys_online() called from device_online calls memory_block_change_state()) and properly update the device struct offline flag. As a result of the current implementation, attempting to remove a memory block after adding it using auto online fails. This is because doing a remove, for instance echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state uses device_offline() which checks the dev->offline flag.

With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails. The problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page. Otherwise, it can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic randomly. swap_writepage bdev_writepage ops->rw_page I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration. When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

The class index and fullness group are not encoded in (first)page->mapping any more, after commit 3783689a ("zsmalloc: introduce zspage structure"). Instead, they are store in struct zspage. Just delete this unneeded comment. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1486620822-36826-1-git-send-email-xieyisheng1@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

arch_zone_lowest/highest_possible_pfn[] is set to 0 and [ZONE_MOVABLE] is skipped in the loop. No need to reset them to 0 again. This patch just removes the redundant code. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170209141731.60208-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

We had used page->lru to link the component pages (except the first page) of a zspage, and used INIT_LIST_HEAD(&page->lru) to init it. Therefore, to get the last page's next page, which is NULL, we had to use page flag PG_Private_2 to identify it. But now, we use page->freelist to link all of the pages in zspage and init the page->freelist as NULL for last page, so no need to use PG_Private_2 anymore. This remove redundant SetPagePrivate2 in create_page_chain and ClearPagePrivate2 in reset_page(). Save a few cycles for migration of zsmalloc page :) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1487076509-49270-1-git-send-email-xieyisheng1@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and thus a critical event. Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages. Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.

Remove the prototypes for shmem_mapping() and shmem_zero_setup() from linux/mm.h, since they are already provided in linux/shmem_fs.h. But shmem_fs.h must then provide the inline stub for shmem_mapping() when CONFIG_SHMEM is not set, and a few more cfiles now need to #include it.

When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low watermark. On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim(). On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance of Node-A to Node-A. So the preferred node even won't be scanned for page reclaim. __alloc_pages_nodemask() get_page_from_freelist() zone_allows_reclaim() Anton proposed the test code as below: # cat alloc.c : int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { void *p; unsigned long size; unsigned long start, end; start = time(NULL); size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0); printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size); size <<= 30; p = malloc(size); assert(p); memset(p, 0, size); end = time(NULL); printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start); sleep(3600); return 0; } The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes. Both have 128GB memory. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation. # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \ sync; \ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \ # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \ grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619712 kB # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128 # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 MemFree: 186816 kB With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its free memory is running out. It's the expected behaviour. # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \ sync; \ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \ grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33605568 kB # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128 # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 1379520 kB # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 MemFree: 317120 kB Fixes: 5f7a75ac ("mm: page_alloc: do not cache reclaim distances") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1486532455-29613-1-git-send-email-gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by:

When mainline introduced commit a96dfddb ("base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones()"), it obtained the valid start and end pfn from the given pfn range. The valid start pfn can fix the actual issue, but it introduced another issue. The valid end pfn will may exceed the given end_pfn. Although the incorrect overflow will not result in actual problem at present, but I think it need to be fixed.

The idea is that without doing more calculations we extend zero pages to same element pages for zram. zero page is special case of same element page with zero element. 1. the test is done under android 7.0 2. startup too many applications circularly 3. sample the zero pages, same pages (none-zero element) and total pages in function page_zero_filled the result is listed as below: ZERO SAME TOTAL 36214 17842 598196 ZERO/TOTAL SAME/TOTAL (ZERO+SAME)/TOTAL ZERO/SAME AVERAGE 0.060631909 0.024990816 0.085622726 2.663825038 STDEV 0.00674612 0.005887625 0.009707034 2.115881328 MAX 0.069698422 0.030046087 0.094975336 7.56043956 MIN 0.03959586 0.007332205 0.056055193 1.928985507 from the above data, the benefit is about 2.5% and up to 3% of total swapout pages. The defect of the patch is that when we recovery a page from non-zero element the operations are low efficient for partial read. This patch extends zero_page to same_page so if there is any user to have monitored zero_pages, he will be surprised if the number is increased but it's not harmful, I believe.
