libnvdimm for 4.18
* DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped pages.
The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a pinned page
from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical block. With DAX
the page is equivalent to the filesystem block. Introduce
dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for pinned DAX
pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem could allocate
blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.
* DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().
* Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they are not
necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are power-fail
protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed on
REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests.

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64 There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS
In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it. The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free / idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary. Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths can enable. For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support, care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure. However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

mm: don't allow deferred pages with NEED_PER_CPU_KM
It is unsafe to do virtual to physical translations before mm_init() is called if struct page is needed in order to determine the memory section number (see SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS). This is because only in mm_init() we initialize struct pages for all the allocated memory when deferred struct pages are used. My recent fix in commit |

There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and paragraph wrapping changes.

mm: relax deferred struct page requirements
There is no need to have ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, as all the page initialization code is in common code. Also, there is no need to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG, as initialization code does not really use hotplug memory functionality. So, we can remove this requirement as well. This patch allows to use deferred struct page initialization on all platforms with memblock allocator. Tested on x86, arm64, and sparc. Also, verified that code compiles on PPC with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG disabled.

mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory
HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpers
This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like PCIe device can be). This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism. This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more hardware in the future.

mm/hmm: heterogeneous memory management (HMM for short)
HMM provides 3 separate types of functionality:
- Mirroring: synchronize CPU page table and device page table
- Device memory: allocating struct page for device memory
- Migration: migrating regular memory to device memory
This patch introduces some common helpers and definitions to all of
those 3 functionality.

mm, devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups
devm_memremap_pages() records mapped ranges in pgmap_radix with an entry per section's worth of memory (128MB). The key for each of those entries is a section number. This leads to false positives when devm_memremap_pages() is passed a section-unaligned range as lookups in the misalignment fail to return NULL. We can close this hole by using the pfn as the key for entries in the tree. The number of entries required to describe a remapped range is reduced by leveraging multi-order entries. In practice this approach usually yields just one entry in the tree if the size and starting address are of the same power-of-2 alignment. Previously we always needed nr_entries = mapping_size / 128MB.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 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 the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

percpu: expose statistics about percpu memory via debugfs
There is limited visibility into the use of percpu memory leaving us unable to reason about correctness of parameters and overall use of percpu memory. These counters and statistics aim to help understand basic statistics about percpu memory such as number of allocations over the lifetime, allocation sizes, and fragmentation.

of/fdt: mark hotpluggable memory
When movable nodes are enabled, any node containing only hotpluggable memory is made movable at boot time. On x86, hotpluggable memory is discovered by parsing the ACPI SRAT, making corresponding calls to memblock_mark_hotplug(). If we introduce a dt property to describe memory as hotpluggable, configs supporting early fdt may then also do this marking and use movable nodes.

mm: enable CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE on non-x86 arches
To support movable memory nodes (CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE), at least one of the following must be true: 1. This config has the capability to identify movable nodes at boot. Right now, only x86 can do this. 2. Our config supports memory hotplug, which means that a movable node can be created by hotplugging all of its memory into ZONE_MOVABLE. Fix the Kconfig definition of CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which currently recognizes (1), but not (2).

But Power makes use of deposited page table to address MMU quirk. Let's hide THP page cache, including huge tmpfs, under separate config option, so it can be forbidden on Power.

mm: make CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depends on !FLATMEM explicitly
Per the suggestion from Michal Hocko [1], DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT requires some ordering wrt other initialization operations, e.g. page_ext_init has to happen after the whole memmap is initialized properly. For SPARSEMEM this requires to wait for page_alloc_init_late. Other memory models (e.g. flatmem) might have different initialization layouts (page_ext_init_flatmem). Currently DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG which in turn depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG and X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on NUMA which in turn disable FLATMEM memory model: config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE def_bool y depends on X86_32 && !NUMA so FLATMEM is ruled out via dependency maze. Be explicit and disable FLATMEM for DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT so that we do not reintroduce subtle initialization bugs [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160523073157.GD2278@dhcp22.suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464027356-32282-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Yang Shi <yang.shi@linaro.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages
This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

Merge branch 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

mm: exclude ZONE_DEVICE from GFP_ZONE_TABLE
ZONE_DEVICE (merged in 4.3) and ZONE_CMA (proposed) are examples of new
mm zones that are bumping up against the current maximum limit of 4
zones, i.e. 2 bits in page->flags for the GFP_ZONE_TABLE.
The GFP_ZONE_TABLE poses an interesting constraint since
include/linux/gfp.h gets included by the 32-bit portion of a 64-bit
build. We need to be careful to only build the table for zones that
have a corresponding gfp_t flag. GFP_ZONES_SHIFT is introduced for this
purpose. This patch does not attempt to solve the problem of adding a
new zone that also has a corresponding GFP_ flag.
Vlastimil points out that ZONE_DEVICE, by depending on x86_64 and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that SECTIONS_WIDTH is zero. In other words
even though ZONE_DEVICE does not fit in GFP_ZONE_TABLE it is free to
consume another bit in page->flags (expand ZONES_WIDTH) with room to
spare.
