Replace the last call to alloc_vm_area with an open coded version using an iterator in struct gnttab_vm_area instead of the triple indirection magic in alloc_vm_area.

i915_gem_object_map implements fairly low-level vmap functionality in a driver. Split it into two helpers, one for remapping kernel memory which can use vmap, and one for I/O memory that uses vmap_pfn. The only practical difference is that alloc_vm_area prefeaults the vmalloc area PTEs, which doesn't seem to be required here for the kernel memory case (and could be added to vmap using a flag if actually required).

shmem_pin_map somewhat awkwardly reimplements vmap using alloc_vm_area and manual pte setup. The only practical difference is that alloc_vm_area prefeaults the vmalloc area PTEs, which doesn't seem to be required here (and could be added to vmap using a flag if actually required). Switch to use vmap, and use vfree to free both the vmalloc mapping and the page array, as well as dropping the references to each page.

Besides calling the callback on each page, apply_to_page_range also has the effect of pre-faulting all PTEs for the range.

Patch series "remove alloc_vm_area", v4. This series removes alloc_vm_area, which was left over from the big vmalloc interface rework. It is a rather arkane interface, basicaly the equivalent of get_vm_area + actually faulting in all PTEs in the allocated area. It was originally addeds for Xen (which isn't modular to start with), and then grew users in zsmalloc and i915 which seems to mostly qualify as abuses of the interface, especially for i915 as a random driver should not set up PTE bits directly. This patch (of 11): * Document that you can call vfree() on an address returned from vmap() * Remove the note about the minimum size -- the minimum size of a vmalloc allocation is one page * Add a Context: section * Fix capitalisation * Reword the prohibition on calling from NMI context to avoid a double negative Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Cc: Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@kernel.org> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@gmail.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201002122204.1534411-1-hch@lst.de Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201002122204.1534411-2-hch@lst.deSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService. The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim on its own without any app involvement. To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very cache friendly environment). Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2) with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support feature. ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully. The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API. I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus, I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch. If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a buggy syscall but hard to fix it later. So finally, the API is as follows, ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec, unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve system or application performance. The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information) The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in <sys/uio.h> as: struct iovec { void *iov_base; /* starting address */ size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */ }; The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base) and with size length of bytes(iov_len). The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec. The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is external. MADV_COLD MADV_PAGEOUT Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2). The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target process is in same thread group with calling process so user could use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support vector address ranges. RETURN VALUE On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised. This return value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value to determine whether a partial advice occurred. FAQ: Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge? Quote from Sandeep "For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer) are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the preloading during boot. After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the application. In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides which process is "important" to the user for interactivity. So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know* which address range of the application is not used / useful. Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory, please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1]. They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do. So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant memory in these applications will be useful. - ssp Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target process? process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space target process can run between the time the process_madvise process inspects the target process address space and the time that process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write. The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level, there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more fine-grained optimization model. To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument so we could support it in future if someone really needs it. Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work? Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at most one ptracer.

With that, application could give hints to kernel what memory range are preferred to be reclaimed. However, in some platform(e.g., Android), the information required to make the hinting decision is not known to the app. Instead, it is known to a centralized userspace daemon(e.g., ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim on its own without any app involvement. To solve the concern, this patch introduces new syscall - process_madvise(2). Bascially, it's same with madvise(2) syscall but it has some differences. 1. It needs pidfd of target process to provide the hint 2. It supports only MADV_{COLD|PAGEOUT|MERGEABLE|UNMEREABLE} at this moment. Other hints in madvise will be opened when there are explicit requests from community to prevent unexpected bugs we couldn't support. 3. Only privileged processes can do something for other process's address space. For more detail of the new API, please see "mm: introduce external memory hinting API" description in this patchset. This patch (of 3): In upcoming patches, do_madvise will be called from external process context so we shouldn't asssume "current" is always hinted process's task_struct. Furthermore, we must not access mm_struct via task->mm, but obtain it via access_mm() once (in the following patch) and only use that pointer [1], so pass it to do_madvise() as well. Note the vma->vm_mm pointers are safe, so we can use them further down the call stack. And let's pass current->mm as arguments of do_madvise so it shouldn't change existing behavior but prepare next patch to make review easy.

This patch reduces the running time for hmm-tests from about 10+ seconds, to just under 1.0 second, for an approximately 10x speedup. That brings it in line with most of the other tests in selftests/vm, which mostly run in < 1 sec. This is done with a one-line change that simply reduces the number of iterations of several tests, from 256, to 10. Thanks to Ralph Campbell for suggesting changing NTIMES as a way to get the speedup.

create_elf_tables() runs after setup_new_exec(), so other tasks can already access our new mm and do things like process_madvise() on it. (At the time I'm writing this commit, process_madvise() is not in mainline yet, but has been in akpm's tree for some time.) While I believe that there are currently no APIs that would actually allow another process to mess up our VMA tree (process_madvise() is limited to MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT, and uring and userfaultfd cannot reach an mm under which no syscalls have been executed yet), this seems like an accident waiting to happen. Let's make sure that we always take the mmap lock around GUP paths as long as another process might be able to see the mm. (Yes, this diff looks suspicious because we drop the lock before doing anything with `vma`, but that's because we actually don't do anything with it apart from the NULL check.)

To be safe against concurrent changes to the VMA tree, we must take the mmap lock around GUP operations (excluding the GUP-fast family of operations, which will take the mmap lock by themselves if necessary). This code is only for testing, and it's only reachable by root through debugfs, so this doesn't really have any impact; however, if we want to add lockdep asserts into the GUP path, we need to have clean locking here.

If a memcg to charge can be determined (using remote charging API), there are no reasons to exclude allocations made from an interrupt context from the accounting. Such allocations will pass even if the resulting memcg size will exceed the hard limit, but it will affect the application of the memory pressure and an inability to put the workload under the limit will eventually trigger the OOM. To use active_memcg() helper, memcg_kmem_bypass() is moved back to memcontrol.c.

Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup of the current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't work for interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during the execution of a section with an active memcg set, all allocations inside the interrupt will be charged to the active memcg set (given that we'll enable accounting for allocations from an interrupt context). But because the interrupt might have no relation to the active memcg set outside, it's obviously wrong from the accounting prospective. To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which will be used from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will transparently use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending on the context. To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's introduce two new functions: - struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void), - struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void). They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all implementation details: where to get it depending on the current context.

Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context". This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option. Also performance reasons were likely a reason too. The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current process. This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from an interrupt context. Then it removes the fence that prevented the accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. It also contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings. This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific allocations, but prepares the code base for it. The bpf memory accounting will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap map to store some information. This patch (of 4): Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current(). Moving memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.

Currently the remote memcg charging API consists of two functions: memalloc_use_memcg() and memalloc_unuse_memcg(), which set and clear the memcg value, which overwrites the memcg of the current task. memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg); <...> memalloc_unuse_memcg(); It works perfectly for allocations performed from a normal context, however an attempt to call it from an interrupt context or just nest two remote charging blocks will lead to an incorrect accounting. On exit from the inner block the active memcg will be cleared instead of being restored. memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg); memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg_2); <...> memalloc_unuse_memcg(); Error: allocation here are charged to the memcg of the current process instead of target_memcg. memalloc_unuse_memcg(); This patch extends the remote charging API by switching to a single function: struct mem_cgroup *set_active_memcg(struct mem_cgroup *memcg), which sets the new value and returns the old one. So a remote charging block will look like: old_memcg = set_active_memcg(target_memcg); <...> set_active_memcg(old_memcg); This patch is heavily based on the patch by Johannes Weiner, which can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/28/806 .

Pull afs updates from David Howells: "A collection of fixes to fix afs_cell struct refcounting, thereby fixing a slew of related syzbot bugs: - Fix the cell tree in the netns to use an rwsem rather than RCU. There seem to be some problems deriving from the use of RCU and a seqlock to walk the rbtree, but it's not entirely clear what since there are several different failures being seen. Changing things to use an rwsem instead makes it more robust. The extra performance derived from using RCU isn't necessary in this case since the only time we're looking up a cell is during mount or when cells are being manually added. - Fix the refcounting by splitting the usage counter into a memory refcount and an active users counter. The usage counter was doing double duty, keeping track of whether a cell is still in use and keeping track of when it needs to be destroyed - but this makes the clean up tricky. Separating these out simplifies the logic. - Fix purging a cell that has an alias. A cell alias pins the cell it's an alias of, but the alias is always later in the list. Trying to purge in a single pass causes rmmod to hang in such a case. - Fix cell removal. If a cell's manager is requeued whilst it's removing itself, the manager will run again and re-remove itself, causing problems in various places. Follow Hillf Danton's suggestion to insert a more terminal state that causes the manager to do nothing post-removal. In additional to the above, two other changes: - Add a tracepoint for the cell refcount and active users count. This helped with debugging the above and may be useful again in future. - Downgrade an assertion to a print when a still-active server is seen during purging. This was happening as a consequence of incomplete cell removal before the servers were cleaned up" * tag 'afs-fixes-20201016' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: afs: Don't assert on unpurgeable server records afs: Add tracing for cell refcount and active user count afs: Fix cell removal afs: Fix cell purging with aliases afs: Fix cell refcounting by splitting the usage counter afs: Fix rapid cell addition/removal by not using RCU on cells tree

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, we've added new features such as zone capacity for ZNS and a new GC policy, ATGC, along with in-memory segment management. In addition, we could improve the decompression speed significantly by changing virtual mapping method. Even though we've fixed lots of small bugs in compression support, I feel that it becomes more stable so that I could give it a try in production. Enhancements: - suport zone capacity in NVMe Zoned Namespace devices - introduce in-memory current segment management - add standart casefolding support - support age threshold based garbage collection - improve decompression speed by changing virtual mapping method Bug fixes: - fix condition checks in some ioctl() such as compression, move_range, etc - fix 32/64bits support in data structures - fix memory allocation in zstd decompress - add some boundary checks to avoid kernel panic on corrupted image - fix disallowing compression for non-empty file - fix slab leakage of compressed block writes In addition, it includes code refactoring for better readability and minor bug fixes for compression and zoned device support" * tag 'f2fs-for-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (51 commits) f2fs: code cleanup by removing unnecessary check f2fs: wait for sysfs kobject removal before freeing f2fs_sb_info f2fs: fix writecount false positive in releasing compress blocks f2fs: introduce check_swap_activate_fast() f2fs: don't issue flush in f2fs_flush_device_cache() for nobarrier case f2fs: handle errors of f2fs_get_meta_page_nofail f2fs: fix to set SBI_NEED_FSCK flag for inconsistent inode f2fs: reject CASEFOLD inode flag without casefold feature f2fs: fix memory alignment to support 32bit f2fs: fix slab leak of rpages pointer f2fs: compress: fix to disallow enabling compress on non-empty file f2fs: compress: introduce cic/dic slab cache f2fs: compress: introduce page array slab cache f2fs: fix to do sanity check on segment/section count f2fs: fix to check segment boundary during SIT page readahead f2fs: fix uninit-value in f2fs_lookup f2fs: remove unneeded parameter in find_in_block() f2fs: fix wrong total_sections check and fsmeta check f2fs: remove duplicated code in sanity_check_area_boundary f2fs: remove unused check on version_bitmap ...

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs. This includes: - kernel-doc markup fixes - ReST fixes - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of the docs build toolchain (Sphinx) After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4). As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build, as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests that should be happening along the merge window. The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10. PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported, as it lacks support for C domain namespaces.
