Most users of this interface just want to use it with the default GFP_KERNEL flags, but for cases where DMA memory is allocated it may be called from a different context. No functional change yet, just passing through the flag to the underlying alloc_contig_range function. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170127172328.18574-2-l.stach@pengutronix.deSigned-off-by:

Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should be done with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably right for all current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some platforms). Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask set by upper layers. Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the passed in flags.

In the non-cooperative userfaultfd case, the process exit may race with outstanding mcopy_atomic called by the uffd monitor. Returning -ENOSPC instead of -EINVAL when mm is already gone will allow uffd monitor to distinguish this case from other error conditions.

The memory mapping of a process may change between #PF event and the call to mcopy_atomic that comes to resolve the page fault. In such case, there will be no VMA covering the range passed to mcopy_atomic or the VMA will not have userfaultfd context. To allow uffd monitor to distinguish those case from other errors, let's return -ENOENT instead of -EINVAL. Note, that despite availability of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP there still might be race between the processing of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP and outstanding mcopy_atomic in case of non-cooperative uffd usage.

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped. Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely changes in the virtual memory layout. Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate userfault file descriptors. The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

Patch series "userfaultfd: non-cooperative: better tracking for mapping changes", v2. These patches try to address issues I've encountered during integration of userfaultfd with CRIU. Previously added userfaultfd events for fork(), madvise() and mremap() unfortunately do not cover all possible changes to a process virtual memory layout required for uffd monitor. When one or more VMAs is removed from the process mm, the external uffd monitor has no way to detect those changes and will attempt to fill the removed regions with userfaultfd_copy. Another problematic event is the exit() of the process. Here again, the external uffd monitor will try to use userfaultfd_copy, although mm owning the memory has already gone. The first patch in the series is a minor cleanup and it's not strictly related to the rest of the series. The patches 2 and 3 below add UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP and UFFD_EVENT_EXIT to allow the uffd monitor track changes in the memory layout of a process. The patches 4 and 5 amend error codes returned by userfaultfd_copy to make the uffd monitor able to cope with races that might occur between delivery of unmap and exit events and outstanding userfaultfd_copy's. This patch (of 5): Commit dc0ef0df ("mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscalls") replaced call to vm_munmap in munmap syscall with open coded version to allow different waits on mmap_sem in munmap syscall and vm_munmap. Now both functions use down_write_killable, so we can restore the call to vm_munmap from the munmap system call.

Current rmap code can miss a VMA that maps PTE-mapped THP if the first suppage of the THP was unmapped from the VMA. We need to walk rmap for the whole range of offsets that THP covers, not only the first one. vma_address() also need to be corrected to check the range instead of the first subpage.

Patch series "Fix few rmap-related THP bugs", v3. The patchset fixes handing PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced() and page_idle_clear_pte_refs(). To achieve that I've intrdocued new helper -- page_vma_mapped_walk() -- which replaces all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() and covers all THP cases. Patchset overview: - First patch fixes one uprobe bug (unrelated to the rest of the patchset, just spotted it at the same time); - Patches 2-5 fix handling PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced(), page_idle_clear_pte_refs() and rmap core; - Patches 6-12 convert all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() users (plus remove_migration_pte()) to page_vma_mapped_walk() and drop unused helpers. I think the fixes are not critical enough for stable@ as they don't lead to crashes or hangs, only suboptimal behaviour. This patch (of 12): For THPs page_check_address() always fails. It leads to endless loop in uprobe_write_opcode().

We had considered all of the non-lru pages as unmovable before commit bda807d4 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration"). But now some of non-lru pages like zsmalloc, virtio-balloon pages also become movable. So we can offline such blocks by using non-lru page migration. This patch straightforwardly adds non-lru migration code, which means adding non-lru related code to the functions which scan over pfn and collect pages to be migrated and isolate them before migration.

Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page", v6. After Minchan's commit bda807d4 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration"), some type of non-lru page like zsmalloc and virtio-balloon page also support migration. Therefore, we can: 1) soft offlining no-lru movable pages, which means when memory corrected errors occur on a non-lru movable page, we can stop to use it by migrating data onto another page and disable the original (maybe half-broken) one. 2) enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages, i.e. we may offline blocks, which include such pages, by using non-lru page migration. This patchset is heavily dependent on non-lru movable page migration. This patch (of 4): Change the return type of isolate_movable_page() from bool to int. It will return 0 when isolate movable page successfully, and return -EBUSY when it isolates failed. There is no functional change within this patch but prepare for later patch.

Most of z3fold operations are in-page, such as modifying z3fold page header or moving z3fold objects within a page. Taking per-pool spinlock to protect per-page objects is therefore suboptimal, and the idea of having a per-page spinlock (or rwlock) has been around for some time. This patch implements spinlock-based per-page locking mechanism which is lightweight enough to normally fit ok into the z3fold header.

z3fold_compact_page() currently only handles the situation when there's a single middle chunk within the z3fold page. However it may be worth it to move middle chunk closer to either first or last chunk, whichever is there, if the gap between them is big enough. This patch adds the relevant code, using BIG_CHUNK_GAP define as a threshold for middle chunk to be worth moving.

Currently the whole kernel build will be stopped if the size of struct z3fold_header is greater than the size of one chunk, which is 64 bytes by default. This patch instead defines the offset for z3fold objects as the size of the z3fold header in chunks. Fixed also are the calculation of num_free_chunks() and the address to move the middle chunk to in case of in-page compaction in z3fold_compact_page().

Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the correct locations. More than one kernel oops was introduced due to difficulties of getting the placement correctly. Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault that indicates the size of the page entry. This makes the code easier to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs. This patch adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX. It does not include support for anonymous pages. x86 support code also added. Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge PMDs. The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in mm_walk works. The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method, whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or ->pte_entry. The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is stable.

The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX. I have forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc. The current submission has only the necessary code to support device DAX. Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in hugetlbfs. Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file. We have customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous version of these patches [1]. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52 Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle: There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume 10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a server; we are looking at the following: processes : 10,000 memory : 6TB pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings it down to a reasonable level. Memory sizes will keep increasing; so this number will keep increasing. An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical. Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable. This patch (of 3): In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault. The vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

As suggested by Vlastimil Babka and Tejun Heo, this patch uses a static work_struct to co-ordinate the draining of per-cpu pages on the workqueue. Only one task can drain at a time but this is better than the previous scheme that allowed multiple tasks to send IPIs at a time. One consideration is whether parallel requests should synchronise against each other. This patch does not synchronise for a global drain as the common case for such callers is expected to be multiple parallel direct reclaimers competing for pages when the watermark is close to min. Draining the per-cpu list is unlikely to make much progress and serialising the drain is of dubious merit. Drains are synchonrised for callers such as memory hotplug and CMA that care about the drain being complete when the function returns.

Since commit 682a3385 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we replace a NULL nodemask with cpuset_current_mems_allowed in the fast path, so that get_page_from_freelist() filters nodes allowed by the cpuset via for_next_zone_zonelist_nodemask(). In that case it's pointless to additionaly check __cpuset_zone_allowed() in each iteration, which we can avoid by not adding ALLOC_CPUSET to alloc_flags in that scenario. This saves some cycles in the allocator fast path on systems with one or more non-root cpuset configured. In the slow path, ALLOC_CPUSET is reset according to __alloc_pages_slowpath(). Without configured cpusets, this code is disabled by a static key. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170124150511.5710-2-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

The allocation fast path contains two similar checks for zoneref->zone being NULL, where zoneref points either to the first zone in the zonelist, or to the preferred zone. These can be NULL either due to empty zonelist, or no zone being compatible with given nodemask or task's cpuset. These checks are unnecessary, because the zonelist walks in first_zones_zonelist() and get_page_from_freelist() handle a NULL starting zoneref->zone or preferred_zoneref->zone safely. It's safe to fallback to __alloc_pages_slowpath() where we also have the check early enough. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170124150511.5710-1-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

zram_reset_device() waits for ongoing writepage pages to be completed by zram->refcount logic. However, it's pointless because before the reset, we prevent further opening of zram by zram->claim and flush all of pending IO by fsync_bdev so there should be no pending IO at the zram_reset_device(). So let's remove that code which is even broken due to the lack of wake_up elsewhere. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485145031-11661-1-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

->fault(), ->page_mkwrite(), and ->pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf. Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.
