Merge NTFSv3 filesystem from Konstantin Komarov:
 "This patch adds NTFS Read-Write driver to fs/ntfs3.

  Having decades of expertise in commercial file systems development and
  huge test coverage, we at Paragon Software GmbH want to make our
  contribution to the Open Source Community by providing implementation
  of NTFS Read-Write driver for the Linux Kernel.

  This is fully functional NTFS Read-Write driver. Current version works
  with NTFS (including v3.1) and normal/compressed/sparse files and
  supports journal replaying.

  We plan to support this version after the codebase once merged, and
  add new features and fix bugs. For example, full journaling support
  over JBD will be added in later updates"

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this cycle, we've addressed some performance issues such as lock
  contention, misbehaving compress_cache, allowing extent_cache for
  compressed files, and new sysfs to adjust ra_size for fadvise.

  In order to diagnose the performance issues quickly, we also added an
  iostat which shows the IO latencies periodically.

  On the stability side, we've found two memory leakage cases in the
  error path in compression flow. And, we've also fixed various corner
  cases in fiemap, quota, checkpoint=disable, zstd, and so on.

  Enhancements:
   - avoid long checkpoint latency by releasing nat_tree_lock
   - collect and show iostats periodically
   - support extent_cache for compressed files
   - add a sysfs entry to manage ra_size given fadvise(POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL)
   - report f2fs GC status via sysfs
   - add discard_unit=%s in mount option to handle zoned device

  Bug fixes:
   - fix two memory leakages when an error happens in the compressed IO flow
   - fix commpress_cache to get the right LBA
   - fix fiemap to deal with compressed case correctly
   - fix wrong EIO returns due to SBI_NEED_FSCK
   - fix missing writes when enabling checkpoint back
   - fix quota deadlock
   - fix zstd level mount option

  In addition to the above major updates, we've cleaned up several code
  paths such as dio, unnecessary operations, debugfs/f2fs/status, sanity
  check, and typos"

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device.  When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.

To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory
of the process immediately when the app switches to forground.  Calling
process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

Since merged pages are copied every time they need to be modified, the
write access time is different between shared and non-shared pages.  Add
ksm_cow_time() function which evaluates latency of these COW breaks.
First, 4000 pages are allocated and the time, required to modify 1 byte in
every other page, is measured.  After this, the pages are merged into 2000
pairs and in each pair, 1 page is modified (i.e.  they are decoupled) to
detect COW breaks.  The time needed to break COW of merged pages is then
compared with performance of non-shared pages.

The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -C
The output:
	Total size:    15 MiB

	Not merged pages:
	Total time:     0.002185489 s
	Average speed:  3202.945 MiB/s

	Merged pages:
	Total time:     0.004386872 s

Add ksm_merge_time() function to determine speed and time needed for
merging.  The total spent time is shown in seconds while speed is in
MiB/s.  User must specify the size of duplicated memory area (in MiB)
before running the test.

The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -P -s 100
The output:
	Total size:    100 MiB
	Total time:    0.201106786 s
	Average speed:  497.248 MiB/s

Add check_ksm_numa_merge() function to test that pages in different NUMA
nodes are being handled properly.  First, two duplicate pages are
allocated in two separate NUMA nodes using the libnuma library.  Since
there is one unique page in each node, with merge_across_nodes = 0, there
won't be any shared pages.  If merge_across_nodes is set to 1, the pages
will be treated as usual duplicate pages and will be merged.  If NUMA
config is not enabled or the number of NUMA nodes is less than two, then
the test is skipped.  The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -N

Patch series "add KSM selftests".

Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of KSM.  The tests are
run on private anonymous pages.  Since some KSM tunables are modified,
their starting values are saved and restored after testing.  At the start,
run is set to 2 to ensure that only test pages will be merged (we assume
that no applications make madvise syscalls in the background).  If KSM
config not enabled, all tests will be skipped.

This patch (of 4):

Add check_ksm_merge() function to check the basic merging feature of KSM.
First, some number of identical pages are allocated and the MADV_MERGEABLE
advice is given to merge these pages.  Then, pages_shared and
pages_sharing values are compared with the expected numbers using
assert_ksm_pages_count() function.  The number of pages can be changed
using -p option.

In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring
memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory
pressure under control.  One way to accomplish that is to kill
non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones.
Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and
Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd.

For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly
and efficiently.  Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its
memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the
process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the
process is running.  A mechanism to free resources of the target process
in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its
memory pressure.

Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying
process from the context of the caller.  This way the memory is freed in a
more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller.  The
workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller.  The
operation is allowed only on a dying process.

After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to
introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case.

The API is as follows,

          int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags);

        DESCRIPTION
          The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of
          an exiting process.

          The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file
          descriptor.
          (See pidfd_open(2) for further information)

          The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this
          argument must be specified as 0.

        RETURN VALUE
          On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is
          returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

        ERRORS
          EBADF  pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor.

          EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space.

          EINTR  The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7).

          EINVAL flags is not 0.

          EINVAL The memory of the task cannot be released because the
                 process is not exiting, the address space is shared
                 with another live process or there is a core dump in
                 progress.

          ENOSYS This system call is not supported, for example, without
                 MMU support built into Linux.

          ESRCH  The target process does not exist (i.e., it has terminated
                 and been waited on).

There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with
memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist.

memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any
future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the
users outside memblock.

Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to
memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make
memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock.

This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in
memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of
memblock_find_in_range().

Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.

MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal
admin-guide with this patch.  Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2),
get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text
about this mode.  Those shall contain the canonical reference.

NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent.  New technologies like
PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly
desirable.  MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes
that will be tried first when performing allocations.  If those
allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried.  It's a straight
forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system
administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines.  The mode
will work either per VMA, or per thread.

Implement the missing huge page allocation functionality while obeying the
preferred node semantics.  This is similar to the implementation for
general page allocation, as it uses a fallback mechanism to try multiple
preferred nodes first, and then all other nodes.

To avoid adding too many "#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA" check, add a helper function
in mempolicy.h to check whether a mempolicy is MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.

to all nodes in system when first try fails.

Add a dedicated function alloc_pages_preferred_many() for it just like for

Patch series "Introduce multi-preference mempolicy", v7.

This patch series introduces the concept of the MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY
mempolicy.  This mempolicy mode can be used with either the
set_mempolicy(2) or mbind(2) interfaces.  Like the MPOL_PREFERRED
interface, it allows an application to set a preference for nodes which
will fulfil memory allocation requests.  Unlike the MPOL_PREFERRED mode,
it takes a set of nodes.  Like the MPOL_BIND interface, it works over a
set of nodes.  Unlike MPOL_BIND, it will not cause a SIGSEGV or invoke the
OOM killer if those preferred nodes are not available.

Along with these patches are patches for libnuma, numactl, numademo, and
memhog.  They still need some polish, but can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/numactl/-/tree/prefer-many It allows new
usage: `numactl -P 0,3,4`

The goal of the new mode is to enable some use-cases when using tiered memory
usage models which I've lovingly named.

1a. The Hare - The interconnect is fast enough to meet bandwidth and
    latency requirements allowing preference to be given to all nodes with
    "fast" memory.
1b. The Indiscriminate Hare - An application knows it wants fast
    memory (or perhaps slow memory), but doesn't care which node it runs
    on.  The application can prefer a set of nodes and then xpu bind to
    the local node (cpu, accelerator, etc).  This reverses the nodes are
    chosen today where the kernel attempts to use local memory to the CPU
    whenever possible.  This will attempt to use the local accelerator to
    the memory.
2.  The Tortoise - The administrator (or the application itself) is
    aware it only needs slow memory, and so can prefer that.

Much of this is almost achievable with the bind interface, but the bind
interface suffers from an inability to fallback to another set of nodes if
binding fails to all nodes in the nodemask.

Like MPOL_BIND a nodemask is given. Inherently this removes ordering from the
preference.

> /* Set first two nodes as preferred in an 8 node system. */
> const unsigned long nodes = 0x3
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8);

> /* Mimic interleave policy, but have fallback *.
> const unsigned long nodes = 0xaa
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8);

Some internal discussion took place around the interface. There are two
alternatives which we have discussed, plus one I stuck in:

1. Ordered list of nodes.  Currently it's believed that the added
   complexity is nod needed for expected usecases.
2. A flag for bind to allow falling back to other nodes.  This
   confuses the notion of binding and is less flexible than the current
   solution.
3. Create flags or new modes that helps with some ordering.  This
   offers both a friendlier API as well as a solution for more customized
   usage.  It's unknown if it's worth the complexity to support this.
   Here is sample code for how this might work:

> // Prefer specific nodes for some something wacky
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, 0x17c, 1024);
>
> // Default
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_SOCKET, NULL, 0);
> // which is the same as
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Hare
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Tortoise
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE_REV, NULL, 0);
>
> // Prefer the fast memory of the first two sockets
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, -1, 2);
>

This patch (of 5):

The NUMA APIs currently allow passing in a "preferred node" as a single
bit set in a nodemask.  If more than one bit it set, bits after the first
are ignored.

This single node is generally OK for location-based NUMA where memory
being allocated will eventually be operated on by a single CPU.  However,
in systems with multiple memory types, folks want to target a *type* of
memory instead of a location.  For instance, someone might want some
high-bandwidth memory but do not care about the CPU next to which it is
allocated.  Or, they want a cheap, high capacity allocation and want to
target all NUMA nodes which have persistent memory in volatile mode.  In
both of these cases, the application wants to target a *set* of nodes, but
does not want strict MPOL_BIND behavior as that could lead to OOM killer
or SIGSEGV.

So add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy to support the multiple preferred nodes
requirement.  This is not a pie-in-the-sky dream for an API.  This was a
response to a specific ask of more than one group at Intel.  Specifically:

1. There are existing libraries that target memory types such as
   https://github.com/memkind/memkind.  These are known to suffer from
   SIGSEGV's when memory is low on targeted memory "kinds" that span more
   than one node.  The MCDRAM on a Xeon Phi in "Cluster on Die" mode is an
   example of this.

2. Volatile-use persistent memory users want to have a memory policy
   which is targeted at either "cheap and slow" (PMEM) or "expensive and
   fast" (DRAM).  However, they do not want to experience allocation
   failures when the targeted type is unavailable.

3. Allocate-then-run.  Generally, we let the process scheduler decide
   on which physical CPU to run a task.  That location provides a default
   allocation policy, and memory availability is not generally considered
   when placing tasks.  For situations where memory is valuable and
   constrained, some users want to allocate memory first, *then* allocate
   close compute resources to the allocation.  This is the reverse of the
   normal (CPU) model.  Accelerators such as GPUs that operate on
   core-mm-managed memory are interested in this model.

A check is added in sanitize_mpol_flags() to not permit 'prefer_many'
policy to be used for now, and will be removed in later patch after all
implementations for 'prefer_many' are ready, as suggested by Michal Hocko.

The caller of mpol_misplaced() already use NUMA_NO_NODE to check whether
current page node is misplaced, thus using NUMA_NO_NODE in
mpol_misplaced() instead of magic number is more readable.

The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run
compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages
based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness.  Triggering the
compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is
not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system
usecases which may have few MB's of RAM.  Enabling the proactive
compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such
systems.

Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting
a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by
using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness).  So, on systems where enabling
the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the
same from user space on write to its sysctl interface.  As an example, say
app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be
launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare
the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from
userspace.

This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to
sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

Vlastimil Babka figured out that when fragmentation score didn't go down
across the proactive compaction i.e.  when no progress is made, next wake
up for proactive compaction is deferred for 1 << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT,
i.e.  64 times, with each wakeup interval of
HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC(=500).  In each of this wakeup, it just
decrement 'proactive_defer' counter and goes sleep i.e.  it is getting
woken to just decrement a counter.

The same deferral time can also achieved by simply doing the
HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT thus unnecessary
wakeup of kcompact thread is avoided thus also removes the need of
'proactive_defer' thread counter.

drop_slab_node() is called as part of echo 2>/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
operation.  It iterates over all memcgs and calls shrink_slab() which in
turn iterates over all slab shrinkers.  Freed objects are counted and as
long as the total number of freed objects from all memcgs and shrinkers is
higher than 10, drop_slab_node() loops for another full memcgs*shrinkers
iteration.

This arbitrary constant threshold of 10 can result in effectively an
infinite loop on a system with large number of memcgs and/or parallel
activity that allocates new objects.  This has been reported previously by
Chunxin Zang [1] and recently by our customer.

The previous report [1] has resulted in commit 069c411d ("mm/vmscan:
fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node") which added a check for signals
allowing the user to terminate the command writing to drop_caches.  At the
time it was also considered to make the threshold grow with each iteration
to guarantee termination, but such patch hasn't been formally proposed
yet.

This patch implements the dynamically growing threshold.  At first
iteration it's enough to free one object to continue, and this threshold
effectively doubles with each iteration.  Our customer's feedback was
positive.

There is always a risk that this change will result on some system in a
previously terminating drop_caches operation to terminate sooner and free
fewer objects.  Ideally the semantics would guarantee freeing all freeable
objects that existed at the moment of starting the operation, while not
looping forever for newly allocated objects, but that's not feasible to
track.  In the less ideal solution based on thresholds, arguably the
termination guarantee is more important than the exhaustiveness guarantee.
If there are reports of large regression wrt being exhaustive, we can
tune how fast the threshold grows.
