Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.

movable_node_is_enabled is defined in memblock proper while it is initialized from the memory hotplug proper. This is quite messy and it makes a dependency between the two so move movable_node along with the helper functions to memory_hotplug. To make it more entertaining the kernel parameter is ignored unless CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=y because we do not have the node information for each memblock otherwise. So let's warn when the option is disabled.

Commit 20b2f52b ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a good explanation on why it is actually useful. It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an additional ifdefery that pollutes the code. Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

Patch series "remove CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE". I am continuing to clean up the memory hotplug code and CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE seems dubious at best. The following two patches simply removes the flag and make it de-facto always enabled. The current semantic of the config option is twofold 1) it automatically binds hotplugable nodes to have memory in zone_movable by default when movable_node is enabled 2) forbids memory hotplug to online all the memory as movable when !CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE. The later restriction is quite dubious because there is no clear cut of how much normal memory do we need for a reasonable system operation. A single memory block which is sufficient to allow further movable onlines is far from sufficient (e.g a node with >2GB and memblocks 128MB will fill up this zone with struct pages leaving nothing for other allocations). Removing the config option will not only reduce the configuration space it also removes quite some code. The semantic of the movable_node command line parameter is preserved. The first patch removes the restriction mentioned above and the second one simply removes all the CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE related stuff. The last patch moves movable_node flag handling to memory_hotplug proper where it belongs. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170524122411.25212-1-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 3): Commit 74d42d8f ("memory_hotplug: ensure every online node has NORMAL memory") has introduced a restriction that every numa node has to have at least some memory in !movable zones before a first movable memory can be onlined if !CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE. Likewise can_offline_normal checks the amount of normal memory in !movable zones and it disallows to offline memory if there is no normal memory left with a justification that "memory-management acts bad when we have nodes which is online but don't have any normal memory". While it is true that not having _any_ memory for kernel allocations on a NUMA node is far from great and such a node would be quite subotimal because all kernel allocations will have to fallback to another NUMA node but there is no reason to disallow such a configuration in principle. Besides that there is not really a big difference to have one memblock for ZONE_NORMAL available or none. With 128MB size memblocks the system might trash on the kernel allocations requests anyway. It is really hard to draw a line on how much normal memory is really sufficient so we have to rely on administrator to configure system sanely therefore drop the artificial restriction and remove can_offline_normal and can_online_high_movable altogether.

lruvecs are at the intersection of the NUMA node and memcg, which is the scope for most paging activity. Introduce a convenient accounting infrastructure that maintains statistics per node, per memcg, and the lruvec itself. Then convert over accounting sites for statistics that are already tracked in both nodes and memcgs and can be easily switched.

Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API. I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his slab reclaim work on, so here goes. This patch (of 5): To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not the zone, and the memcg. We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels - which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore the per-zone counters.

To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the per-CPU buffer. To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap device before freeing the swap entries. With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6% (from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with 16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such objects as leaks. This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer. The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly.

Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced with a cpuset update. This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back to the wrappers to detect the race at that level. Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent further wrong impression that it can actually help.

When updating task's mems_allowed and rebinding its mempolicy due to cpuset's mems being changed, we currently only take the seqlock for writing when either the task has a mempolicy, or the new mems has no intersection with the old mems. This should be enough to prevent a parallel allocation seeing no available nodes, but the optimization is IMHO unnecessary (cpuset updates should not be frequent), and we still potentially risk issues if the intersection of new and old nodes has limited amount of free/reclaimable memory. Let's just use the seqlock for all tasks.

Commit c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing. Later, commit cc9a6c87 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed the synchronization point between the two update steps. At that point (or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary. Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2. Without memory barriers the effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all nodes as unusable for allocation. We now fully rely on the seqlock to prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures. We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist pointer as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred node id and gfp_mask. We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter). There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined node_zonelist(): bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952) This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets to zonelists.

The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask. This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma mempolicy, not task one. The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't manifested as an actual issue. We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation instead of the next id. Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

I would like to stress that this patchset aims to fix issues and cleanup the code *within the existing documented semantics*, i.e. patch 1 ignores mempolicy restrictions if the set of allowed nodes has no intersection with set of nodes allowed by cpuset. I believe discussing potential changes of the semantics can be better done once we have a baseline with no known bugs of the current semantics. I've recently summarized the cpuset/mempolicy issues in a LSF/MM proposal [1] and the discussion itself [2]. I've been trying to rewrite the handling as proposed, with the idea that changing semantics to make all mempolicies static wrt cpuset updates (and discarding the relative and default modes) can be tried on top, as there's a high risk of being rejected/reverted because somebody might still care about the removed modes. However I haven't yet figured out how to properly: 1) make mempolicies swappable instead of rebinding in place. I thought mbind() already works that way and uses refcounting to avoid use-after-free of the old policy by a parallel allocation, but turns out true refcounting is only done for shared (shmem) mempolicies, and the actual protection for mbind() comes from mmap_sem. Extending the refcounting means more overhead in allocator hot path. Also swapping whole mempolicies means that we have to allocate the new ones, which can fail, and reverting of the partially done work also means allocating (note that mbind() doesn't care and will just leave part of the range updated and part not updated when returning -ENOMEM...). 2) make cpuset's task->mems_allowed also swappable (after converting it from nodemask to zonelist, which is the easy part) for mostly the same reasons. The good news is that while trying to do the above, I've at least figured out how to hopefully close the remaining premature OOM's, and do a buch of cleanups on top, removing quite some of the code that was also supposed to prevent the cpuset update races, but doesn't work anymore nowadays. This should fix the most pressing concerns with this topic and give us a better baseline before either proceeding with the original proposal, or pushing a change of semantics that removes the problem 1) above. I'd be then fine with trying to change the semantic first and rewrite later. Patchset has been tested with the LTP cpuset01 stress test. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4c44a589-5fd8-08d0-892c-e893bb525b71@suse.cz [2] https://lwn.net/Articles/717797/ [3] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=149191957922828&w=2 This patch (of 6): Commit e47483bc ("mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update") has fixed known recent regressions found by LTP's cpuset01 testcase. I have however found that by modifying the testcase to use per-vma mempolicies via bind(2) instead of per-task mempolicies via set_mempolicy(2), the premature OOM still happens and the issue is much older. The root of the problem is that the cpuset's mems_allowed and mempolicy's nodemask can temporarily have no intersection, thus get_page_from_freelist() cannot find any usable zone. The current semantic for empty intersection is to ignore mempolicy's nodemask and honour cpuset restrictions. This is checked in node_zonelist(), but the racy update can happen after we already passed the check. Such races should be protected by the seqlock task->mems_allowed_seq, but it doesn't work here, because 1) mpol_rebind_mm() does not happen under seqlock for write, and doing so would lead to deadlock, as it takes mmap_sem for write, while the allocation can have mmap_sem for read when it's taking the seqlock for read. And 2) the seqlock cookie of callers of node_zonelist() (alloc_pages_vma() and alloc_pages_current()) is different than the one of __alloc_pages_slowpath(), so there's still a potential race window. This patch fixes the issue by having __alloc_pages_slowpath() check for empty intersection of cpuset and ac->nodemask before OOM or allocation failure. If it's indeed empty, the nodemask is ignored and allocation retried, which mimics node_zonelist(). This works fine, because almost all callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask are obtaining the nodemask via node_zonelist(). The only exception is new_node_page() from hotplug, where the potential violation of nodemask isn't an issue, as there's already a fallback allocation attempt without any nodemask. If there's a future caller that needs to have its specific nodemask honoured over task's cpuset restrictions, we'll have to e.g. add a gfp flag for that.

set_huge_pte_at(), an architecture callback to populate hugepage ptes, does not provide the range of virtual memory that is targeted. This leads to ambiguity when dealing with swap entries on architectures that support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes. Fix the problem by introducing an overridable helper that is called when populating the page tables with swap entries. The size of the targeted region is provided to the helper to help determine the number of entries to be updated. Provide a default implementation that maintains the current behaviour.

When unmapping a hugepage range, huge_pte_clear() is used to clear the page table entries that are marked as not present. huge_pte_clear() internally just ends up calling pte_clear() which does not correctly deal with hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries. Add a size argument to address this issue and allow architectures to override huge_pte_clear() by wrapping it in a #ifndef block. Update s390 implementation with the size parameter as well. Note that the change only affects huge_pte_clear() - the other generic hugetlb functions don't need any change.
