The allocations from filp cache can be directly triggered by userspace applications. A buggy application can consume a significant amount of unaccounted system memory. Though we have not noticed such buggy applications in our production but upon close inspection, we found that a lot of machines spend very significant amount of memory on these caches. One way to limit allocations from filp cache is to set system level limit of maximum number of open files. However this limit is shared between different users on the system and one user can hog this resource. To cater that, we can charge filp to kmemcg and set the maximum limit very high and let the memory limit of each user limit the number of files they can open and indirectly limiting their allocations from filp cache. One side effect of this change is that it will allow _sysctl() to return ENOMEM and the man page of _sysctl() does not specify that. However the man page also discourages to use _sysctl() at all.

Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level, but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too. This patch switches page table accounting to single counter. mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree may be different. The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.) OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds. Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables are less than a page in size. The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

Let's add wrappers for ->nr_ptes with the same interface as for nr_pmd and nr_pud. The patch also makes nr_ptes accounting dependent onto CONFIG_MMU. Page table accounting doesn't make sense if you don't have page tables. It's preparation for consolidation of page-table counters in mm_struct.

On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35 ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

In several places we want to iterate over all tagged pages in a mapping. However the code was apparently copied from places that iterate only over a limited range and thus it checks for index <= end, optimizes the case where we are coming close to range end which is all pointless when end == ULONG_MAX. So just remove this dead code.

Patch series "Ranged pagevec tagged lookup", v3. In this series I provide a ranged variant of pagevec_lookup_tag() and use it in places where it makes sense. This series removes some common code and it also has a potential for speeding up some operations similarly as for pagevec_lookup_range() (but for now I can think of only artificial cases where this happens). This patch (of 16): Implement a variant of find_get_pages_tag() that stops iterating at given index. Lots of users of this function (through pagevec_lookup()) actually want a range lookup and all of them are currently open-coding this. Also create corresponding pagevec_lookup_range_tag() function.

It was observed that under cma_alloc fail log, pr_info was used instead of pr_err. This will lead to problems if printk debug level is set to below 7.

empty_bad_page() and empty_bad_pte_table() seem to be relics from old days which is not used by any code for a long time. I have tried to find when exactly but this is not really all that straightforward due to many code movements - traces disappear around 2.4 times. Anyway no code really references neither empty_bad_page nor empty_bad_pte_table. We only allocate the storage which is not used by anybody so remove them.

Memory allocations can happen before the swap_slots cache initialization is completed during cpu bring up. If we are low on memory, we could call get_swap_page() and access swap_slots_cache before it is fully initialized. Add a check in get_swap_page() for initialized swap_slots_cache to prevent this condition. Similar check already exists in free_swap_slot. Also annotate the checks to indicate the likely condition. We also added a memory barrier to make sure that the locks initialization are done before the assignment of cache->slots and cache->slots_ret pointers. This ensures the assumption that it is safe to acquire the slots cache locks and use the slots cache when the corresponding cache->slots or cache->slots_ret pointers are non null.

This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ... and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected by it. When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary in all cases. This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all those cases explaining why. Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this: For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table lock when clearing a pte/pmd: A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault on zero page, __replace_page(), ...) Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write to a page that might now be used by something completely different. Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence to happen: - take page table lock - clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify()) - set page table entry to point to new page If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for the device. Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/ PASID): Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too). [Time N] ----------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA} CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB} [Time N+1] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+2] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+4] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+5] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page} So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory ordering for the device. When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right after releasing page table lock before calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.

Use BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) in zs_map_object(). This is not a new BUG_ON(), it's always been there, but was recently changed to VM_BUG_ON(). There are several problems there. First, we use use per-CPU mappings both in zsmalloc and in zram, and interrupt may easily corrupt those buffers. Second, and more importantly, we believe it's possible to start leaking sensitive information. Consider the following case: -> process P swap out zram per-cpu mapping CPU1 compress page A -> IRQ swap out zram per-cpu mapping CPU1 compress page B write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool iret -> process P write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool [*] return * so we store overwritten data that actually belongs to another page (task) and potentially contains sensitive data. And when process P will page fault it's going to read (swap in) that other task's data.

for_each_memblock_type macro function relies on idx variable defined in the caller context. Silent macro arguments are almost always wrong thing to do. They make code harder to read and easier to get wrong. Let's use an explicit iterator parameter for for_each_memblock_type and make the code more obious. This patch is a mere cleanup and it shouldn't introduce any functional change.

We have a hardcoded 120s timeout after which the memory offline fails basically since the hot remove has been introduced. This is essentially a policy implemented in the kernel. Moreover there is no way to adjust the timeout and so we are sometimes facing memory offline failures if the system is under a heavy memory pressure or very intensive CPU workload on large machines. It is not very clear what purpose the timeout actually serves. The offline operation is interruptible by a signal so if userspace wants some timeout based termination this can be done trivially by sending a signal. If there is a strong usecase to do this from the kernel then we should do it properly and have a it tunable from the userspace with the timeout disabled by default along with the explanation who uses it and for what purporse.

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: redefine memory offline retry logic", v2. While testing memory hotplug on a large 4TB machine we have noticed that memory offlining is just too eager to fail. The primary reason is that the retry logic is just too easy to give up. We have 4 ways out of the offline - we have a permanent failure (isolation or memory notifiers fail, or hugetlb pages cannot be dropped) - userspace sends a signal - a hardcoded 120s timeout expires - page migration fails 5 times This is way too convoluted and it doesn't scale very well. We have seen both temporary migration failures as well as 120s being triggered. After removing those restrictions we were able to pass stress testing during memory hot remove without any other negative side effects observed. Therefore I suggest dropping both hard coded policies. I couldn't have found any specific reason for them in the changelog. I neither didn't get any response [1] from Kamezawa. If we need some upper bound - e.g. timeout based - then we should have a proper and user defined policy for that. In any case there should be a clear use case when introducing it. This patch (of 2): Memory offlining can fail too eagerly under heavy memory pressure. page:ffffea22a646bd00 count:255 mapcount:252 mapping:ffff88ff926c9f38 index:0x3 flags: 0x9855fe40010048(uptodate|active|mappedtodisk) page dumped because: isolation failed page->mem_cgroup:ffff8801cd662000 memory offlining [mem 0x18b580000000-0x18b5ffffffff] failed Isolation has failed here because the page is not on LRU. Most probably because it was on the pcp LRU cache or it has been removed from the LRU already but it hasn't been freed yet. In both cases the page doesn't look non-migrable so retrying more makes sense. __offline_pages seems rather cluttered when it comes to the retry logic. We have 5 retries at maximum and a timeout. We could argue whether the timeout makes sense but failing just because of a race when somebody isoltes a page from LRU or puts it on a pcp LRU lists is just wrong. It only takes it to race with a process which unmaps some pages and remove them from the LRU list and we can fail the whole offline because of something that is a temporary condition and actually not harmful for the offline. Please note that unmovable pages should be already excluded during start_isolate_page_range. We could argue that has_unmovable_pages is racy and MIGRATE_MOVABLE check doesn't provide any hard guarantee either but kernel zones (aka < ZONE_MOVABLE) will very likely detect unmovable pages in most cases and movable zone shouldn't contain unmovable pages at all. Some of those pages might be pinned but not for ever because that would be a bug on its own. In any case the context is still interruptible and so the userspace can easily bail out when the operation takes too long. This is certainly better behavior than a hardcoded retry loop which is racy. Fix this by removing the max retry count and only rely on the timeout resp. interruption by a signal from the userspace. Also retry rather than fail when check_pages_isolated sees some !free pages because those could be a result of the race as well.

Reserved pages should be completely ignored by the core mm because they have a special meaning for their owners. has_unmovable_pages doesn't check those so we rely on other tests (reference count, or PageLRU) to fail on such pages. Althought this happens to work it is safer to simply check for those explicitly and do not rely on the owner of the page to abuse those fields for special purposes. Please note that this is more of a further fortification of the code rahter than a fix of an existing issue.

Joonsoo has noticed that "mm: drop migrate type checks from has_unmovable_pages" would break CMA allocator because it relies on has_unmovable_pages returning false even for CMA pageblocks which in fact don't have to be movable: alloc_contig_range start_isolate_page_range set_migratetype_isolate has_unmovable_pages This is a result of the code sharing between CMA and memory hotplug while each one has a different idea of what has_unmovable_pages should return. This is unfortunate but fixing it properly would require a lot of code duplication. Fix the issue by introducing the requested migrate type argument and special case MIGRATE_CMA case where CMA page blocks are handled properly. This will work for memory hotplug because it requires MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

Michael has noticed that the memory offline tries to migrate kernel code pages when doing echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/online The current implementation will fail the operation after several failed page migration attempts but we shouldn't even attempt to migrate that memory and fail right away because this memory is clearly not migrateable. This will become a real problem when we drop the retry loop counter resp. timeout. The real problem is in has_unmovable_pages in fact. We should fail if there are any non migrateable pages in the area. In orther to guarantee that remove the migrate type checks because MIGRATE_MOVABLE is not guaranteed to contain only migrateable pages. It is merely a heuristic. Similarly MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the page allocator doesn't allocate any non-migrateable pages from the block but CMA allocations themselves are unlikely to migrateable. Therefore remove both checks.
