PR_SET_THP_DISABLE has a rather subtle semantic. It doesn't affect any
existing mapping because it only updated mm->def_flags which is a
template for new mappings.
The mappings created after prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) have VM_NOHUGEPAGE
flag set. This can be quite surprising for all those applications which
do not do prctl(); fork() & exec() and want to control their own THP
behavior.
Another usecase when the immediate semantic of the prctl might be useful
is a combination of pre- and post-copy migration of containers with
CRIU. In this case CRIU populates a part of a memory region with data
that was saved during the pre-copy stage. Afterwards, the region is
registered with userfaultfd and CRIU expects to get page faults for the
parts of the region that were not yet populated. However, khugepaged
collapses the pages and the expected page faults do not occur.
In more general case, the prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) could be used as a
temporary mechanism for enabling/disabling THP process wide.
Implementation wise, a new MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is added. This flag is
tested when decision whether to use huge pages is taken either during
page fault of at the time of THP collapse.
It should be noted, that the new implementation makes PR_SET_THP_DISABLE
master override to any per-VMA setting, which was not the case
previously.

By default, vmpressure events are not pass-through, i.e. they propagate
up through the memcg hierarchy until an event notifier is found for any
threshold level.
This presents a difficulty when a thread waiting on a read(2) for a
vmpressure event cannot distinguish between local memory pressure and
memory pressure in a descendant memcg, especially when that thread may
not control the memcg hierarchy.
Consider a user-controlled child memcg with a smaller limit than a
top-level memcg controlled by the "Activity Manager" specified in
Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt. It may register for memory pressure
notification for descendant memcgs to make a policy decision: oom kill a
low priority job, increase the limit, decrease other limits, etc. If it
registers for memory pressure notification on the top-level memcg, it
currently cannot distinguish between memory pressure in its own memcg or
a descendant memcg, which is user-controlled.
Conversely, if a user registers for memory pressure notification on
their own descendant memcg, the Activity Manager does not receive any
pressure notification for that child memcg hierarchy. Vmpressure events
are not received for ancestor memcgs if the memcg experiencing pressure
have notifiers registered, perhaps outside the knowledge of the thread
waiting on read(2) at the top level.
Both of these are consequences of vmpressure notification not being
pass-through.
This implements a pass-through behavior for vmpressure events. When
writing to control.event_control, vmpressure event handlers may
optionally specify a mode. There are two new modes:
- "hierarchy": always propagate memory pressure events up the hierarchy
regardless if descendant memcgs have their own notifiers registered,
and
- "local": only receive notifications when the memcg for which the
event is registered experiences memory pressure.
Of course, processes may register for one notification of "low,local",
for example, and another for "low".
If no mode is specified, the current behavior is maintained for
backwards compatibility.
See the change to Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt for full
specification.

Currently me_huge_page() relies on dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() to
keep the error hugepage away from the system, which is OK but not good
enough because the hugepage still has a refcount and unpoison doesn't
work on the error hugepage (PageHWPoison flags are cleared but pages are
still leaked.) And there's "wasting health subpages" issue too. This
patch reworks on me_huge_page() to solve these issues.
For hugetlb file, recently we have truncating code so let's use it in
hugetlbfs specific ->error_remove_page().
For anonymous hugepage, it's helpful to dissolve the error page after
freeing it into free hugepage list. Migration entry and PageHWPoison in
the head page prevent the access to it.
TODO: dissolve_free_huge_page() can fail but we don't considered it yet.
It's not critical (and at least no worse that now) because in such case
the error hugepage just stays in free hugepage list without being
dissolved. By virtue of PageHWPoison in head page, it's never allocated
to processes.

This patch solves this issue by dissolving source hugepages into buddy.
As done in previous patch, PageHWPoison is set only on a head page of
the error hugepage. Then in dissoliving we move the PageHWPoison flag
to the raw error page so that all healthy subpages return back to buddy.

Patch series "mm: hwpoison: fixlet for hugetlb migration".
This patchset updates the hwpoison/hugetlb code to address 2 reported
issues.
One is madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) failure reported by Intel's lkp robot (see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170417055948.GM31394@yexl-desktop.) First
half was already fixed in mainline, and another half about hugetlb cases
are solved in this series.
Another issue is "narrow-down error affected region into a single 4kB
page instead of a whole hugetlb page" issue, which was tried by Anshuman
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170420110627.12307-1-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com)
and I updated it to apply it more widely.
This patch (of 9):
We no longer use MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent reuse of hwpoison hugepages
as we did before. So current dequeue_huge_page_node() doesn't work as
intended because it still uses is_migrate_isolate_page() for this check.
This patch fixes it with PageHWPoison flag.

The purpose of the code that commit 623762517e ("revert 'mm: vmscan:
do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low'") reintroduces is
to prefer swapping anonymous memory rather than trashing the file lru.
If the anonymous inactive lru for the set of eligible zones is
considered low, however, or the length of the list for the given reclaim
priority does not allow for effective anonymous-only reclaiming, then
avoid forcing SCAN_ANON. Forcing SCAN_ANON will end up thrashing the
small list and leave unreclaimed memory on the file lrus.
If the inactive list is insufficient, fallback to balanced reclaim so
the file lru doesn't remain untouched.

Since commit 3bc48f96cf ("mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page
in fallback") we pick the smallest (but sufficient) page of all that
have been stolen from a pageblock of different migratetype. However,
there are cases when we decide not to steal the whole pageblock.
Practically in the current implementation it means that we are trying to
fallback for a MIGRATE_MOVABLE allocation of order X, go through the
freelists from MAX_ORDER-1 down to X, and find free page of order Y. If
Y is less than pageblock_order / 2, we decide not to steal all pages
from the pageblock. When Y > X, it means we are potentially splitting a
larger page than we need, as there might be other pages of order Z,
where X <= Z < Y. Since Y is already too small to steal whole
pageblock, picking smallest available Z will result in the same decision
and we avoid splitting a higher-order page in a MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE or
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblock.
This patch therefore changes the fallback algorithm so that in the
situation described above, we switch the fallback search strategy to go
from order X upwards to find the smallest suitable fallback. In theory
there shouldn't be a downside of this change wrt fragmentation.
This has been tested with mmtests' stress-highalloc performing
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, here is the relevant extfrag tracepoint
statistics:
4.12.0-rc2 4.12.0-rc2
1-kernel4 2-kernel4
Page alloc extfrag event 25640976 69680977
Extfrag fragmenting 25621086 69661364
Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 74409 73204
Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 69003 67684
Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5406 5520
Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 6398 8467
Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 869 884
Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 5529 7583
Extfrag fragmenting for movable 25540279 69579693
Since we force movable allocations to steal the smallest available page
(which we then practially always split), we steal less per fallback, so
the number of fallbacks increases and steals potentially happen from
different pageblocks. This is however not an issue for movable pages
that can be compacted.
Importantly, the "unmovable placed with movable" statistics is lower,
which is the result of less fragmentation in the unmovable pageblocks.
The effect on reclaimable allocation is a bit unclear.

For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of
context switch. block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves
performance and latency a lot. swapin is a good place to use this
technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue
execution.
In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is
about 60% better than that without poll. With iopoll support in swapin
patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about
10%~25% faster. CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x
CPU utilization. This will depend on disk speed.
While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win
for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk. block layer
has knob to control poll in runtime. If poll isn't enabled in block
layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin.
I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media.
In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread
test and ~20% in 8 threads test. So this is the base line. In above
swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test.
blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though.
If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop
but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll. Also we can
adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is
reduced further. In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though. The
performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is
similar too. There is lock contention in swap path. The cpu time
spending on blkpoll isn't high. So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse
than that without it.
The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and
form a big IO request. Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't
make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page
swapin.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.
The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.
For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.
Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.
But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.
This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing
2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.
3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.
To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.
Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:
1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.
2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.
This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:

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 20b2f52b73 ("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 74d42d8fe1 ("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.

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.

Commit c0ff7453bb ("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 cc9a6c8776 ("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.

This patch (of 6):
Commit e47483bca2 ("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.

When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using
page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the
page returned by pmd_page() is the head page. Although normally true,
this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive
page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or
PMD levels.
This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to
page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the
head page within the function.
We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with
page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate
page, i.e., the de-referenced head.
Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.

When operating on hugepages with DEBUG_VM enabled, the GUP code checks
the compound head for each tail page prior to calling
page_cache_add_speculative. This is broken, because on the fast-GUP
path (where we don't hold any page table locks) we can be racing with a
concurrent invocation of split_huge_page_to_list.
split_huge_page_to_list deals with this race by using page_ref_freeze to
freeze the page and force concurrent GUPs to fail whilst the component
pages are modified. This modification includes clearing the
compound_head field for the tail pages, so checking this prior to a
successful call to page_cache_add_speculative can lead to false
positives: In fact, page_cache_add_speculative *already* has this check
once the page refcount has been successfully updated, so we can simply
remove the broken calls to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

Git history said that !pte check in change_pte_range() was introduced in
commit 1ad9f620c3 ("mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock

This moves the #ifdef in C code to a Kconfig dependency. Also we move
the gigantic_page_supported() function to be arch specific.
This allows architectures to conditionally enable runtime allocation of
gigantic huge page. Architectures like ppc64 supports different
gigantic huge page size (16G and 1G) based on the translation mode
selected. This provides an opportunity for ppc64 to enable runtime
allocation only w.r.t 1G hugepage.
No functional change in this patch.

Allow hash tables to scale with memory but at slower pace, when
HASH_ADAPT is provided every time memory quadruples the sizes of hash
tables will only double instead of quadrupling as well. This algorithm
starts working only when memory size reaches a certain point, currently
set to 64G.
This is example of dentry hash table size, before and after four various
memory configurations:
MEMORY SCALE HASH_SIZE

8G 13 13 8M 8M
16G 13 13 16M 16M
32G 13 13 32M 32M

The effect of this change on runtime is undetectable as filesystem
growth is not proportional to machine memory size as is currently
assumed. The change effects only large memory machine. Additional
tuning might be needed, but that can be done by the clients of the
kmem_cache_create interface, not the generic cache allocator itself.
The adaptive hashing is disabled on 32 bit systems to avoid confusion of
whether base should be different for smaller systems, and to avoid
overflows.

Architectures like ppc64 supports hugepage size that is not mapped to
any of of the page table levels. Instead they add an alternate page
table entry format called hugepage directory (hugepd). hugepd indicates
that the page table entry maps to a set of hugetlb pages. Add support
for this in generic follow_page_mask code. We already support this
format in the generic gup code.
The default implementation prints warning and returns NULL. We will add
ppc64 support in later patches

Though migrating gigantic HugeTLB pages does not sound much like real
world use case, they can be affected by memory errors. Hence migration
at the PGD level HugeTLB pages should be supported just to enable soft
and hard offline use cases.
While allocating the new gigantic HugeTLB page, it should not matter
whether new page comes from the same node or not. There would be very
few gigantic pages on the system afterall, we should not be bothered
about node locality when trying to save a big page from crashing.
This change renames dequeu_huge_page_node() function as dequeue_huge
_page_node_exact() preserving it's original functionality. Now the new
dequeue_huge_page_node() function scans through all available online nodes
to allocate a huge page for the NUMA_NO_NODE case and just falls back
calling dequeu_huge_page_node_exact() for all other cases.

The reason is that we assume that the default zone for kernel onlining
is ZONE_NORMAL. This was a simplification introduced by the memory
hotplug rework and it is easily fixable by checking the range overlap in
the zone order and considering the first matching zone as the default
one. If there is no such zone then assume ZONE_NORMAL as we have been
doing so far.

so we have effectively punched a hole into the movable zone.
The problem is that move_pfn_range() check for MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP is
wrong. It only checks whether the given range is already part of the
movable zone which is not the case here as only memory34 is in the zone.
Fix this by using allow_online_pfn_range(..., MMOP_ONLINE_KERNEL) if
that is false then we can be sure that movable onlining is the right
thing to do.

The current memory hotplug implementation relies on having all the
struct pages associate with a zone/node during the physical hotplug
phase (arch_add_memory->__add_pages->__add_section->__add_zone). In the
vast majority of cases this means that they are added to ZONE_NORMAL.
This has been so since 9d99aaa31f ("[PATCH] x86_64: Support memory
hotadd without sparsemem") and it wasn't a big deal back then because
movable onlining didn't exist yet.
Much later memory hotplug wanted to (ab)use ZONE_MOVABLE for movable
onlining 511c2aba8f ("mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable
memory and portion memory") and then things got more complicated.
Rather than reconsidering the zone association which was no longer
needed (because the memory hotplug already depended on SPARSEMEM) a
convoluted semantic of zone shifting has been developed. Only the
currently last memblock or the one adjacent to the zone_movable can be
onlined movable. This essentially means that the online type changes as
the new memblocks are added.
Let's simulate memory hot online manually
$ echo 0x100000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones
Normal Movable
$ echo $((0x100000000+(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
$ echo $((0x100000000+2*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
$ echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable Normal
This is an awkward semantic because an udev event is sent as soon as the
block is onlined and an udev handler might want to online it based on
some policy (e.g. association with a node) but it will inherently race
with new blocks showing up.
This patch changes the physical online phase to not associate pages with
any zone at all. All the pages are just marked reserved and wait for
the onlining phase to be associated with the zone as per the online
request. There are only two requirements
- existing ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap
- ZONE_NORMAL precedes ZONE_MOVABLE in physical addresses
the latter one is not an inherent requirement and can be changed in the
future. It preserves the current behavior and made the code slightly
simpler. This is subject to change in future.
This means that the same physical online steps as above will lead to the

Implementation:
The current move_pfn_range is reimplemented to check the above
requirements (allow_online_pfn_range) and then updates the respective
zone (move_pfn_range_to_zone), the pgdat and links all the pages in the
pfn range with the zone/node. __add_pages is updated to not require the
zone and only initializes sections in the range. This allowed to
simplify the arch_add_memory code (s390 could get rid of quite some of
code).
devm_memremap_pages is the only user of arch_add_memory which relies on
the zone association because it only hooks into the memory hotplug only
half way. It uses it to associate the new memory with ZONE_DEVICE but
doesn't allow it to be {on,off}lined via sysfs. This means that this
particular code path has to call move_pfn_range_to_zone explicitly.
The original zone shifting code is kept in place and will be removed in
the follow up patch for an easier review.
Please note that this patch also changes the original behavior when
offlining a memory block adjacent to another zone (Normal vs. Movable)
used to allow to change its movable type. This will be handled later.

__first_valid_page skips over invalid pfns in the range but it might
still stumble over offline pages. At least start_isolate_page_range
will mark those set_migratetype_isolate. This doesn't represent any
immediate AFAICS because alloc_contig_range will fail to isolate those
pages but it relies on not fully initialized page which will become a
problem later when we stop associating offline pages to zones. Use
pfn_to_online_page to handle this.
This is more a preparatory patch than a fix.

__pageblock_pfn_to_page has two users currently, set_zone_contiguous
which checks whether the given zone contains holes and
pageblock_pfn_to_page which then carefully returns a first valid page
from the given pfn range for the given zone. This doesn't handle zones
which are not fully populated though. Memory pageblocks can be offlined
or might not have been onlined yet. In such a case the zone should be
considered to have holes otherwise pfn walkers can touch and play with
offline pages.
Current callers of pageblock_pfn_to_page in compaction seem to work
properly right now because they only isolate PageBuddy
(isolate_freepages_block) or PageLRU resp. __PageMovable
(isolate_migratepages_block) which will be always false for these pages.
It would be safer to skip these pages altogether, though.
In order to do this patch adds a new memory section state
(SECTION_IS_ONLINE) which is set in memory_present (during boot time) or
in online_pages_range during the memory hotplug. Similarly
offline_mem_sections clears the bit and it is called when the memory
range is offlined.
pfn_to_online_page helper is then added which check the mem section and
only returns a page if it is onlined already.
Use the new helper in __pageblock_pfn_to_page and skip the whole page
block in such a case.

Memory hotplug (add_memory_resource) has to reinitialize node
infrastructure if the node is offline (one which went through the
complete add_memory(); remove_memory() cycle). That involves node
registration to the kobj infrastructure (register_node), the proper
association with cpus (register_cpu_under_node) and finally creation of
node<->memblock symlinks (link_mem_sections).
The last part requires to know node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages
which we currently have but a leter patch will postpone this
initialization to the onlining phase which happens later. In fact we do
not need to rely on the early pgdat initialization even now because the
currently hot added pfn range is currently known.
Split register_one_node into core which does all the common work for the
boot time NUMA initialization and the hotplug (__register_one_node).
register_one_node keeps the full initialization while hotplug calls
__register_one_node and manually calls link_mem_sections for the proper
range.
This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

Device memory hotplug hooks into regular memory hotplug only half way.
It needs memory sections to track struct pages but there is no
need/desire to associate those sections with memory blocks and export
them to the userspace via sysfs because they cannot be onlined anyway.
This is currently expressed by for_device argument to arch_add_memory
which then makes sure to associate the given memory range with
ZONE_DEVICE. register_new_memory then relies on is_zone_device_section
to distinguish special memory hotplug from the regular one. While this
works now, later patches in this series want to move __add_zone outside
of arch_add_memory path so we have to come up with something else.
Add want_memblock down the __add_pages path and use it to control
whether the section->memblock association should be done.
arch_add_memory then just trivially want memblock for everything but
for_device hotplug.
remove_memory_section doesn't need is_zone_device_section either. We
can simply skip all the memblock specific cleanup if there is no
memblock for the given section.
This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

Patch series "mm: make movable onlining suck less", v4.
Movable onlining is a real hack with many downsides - mainly
reintroduction of lowmem/highmem issues we used to have on 32b systems -
but it is the only way to make the memory hotremove more reliable which
is something that people are asking for.
The current semantic of memory movable onlinening is really cumbersome,
however. The main reason for this is that the udev driven approach is
basically unusable because udev races with the memory probing while only
the last memory block or the one adjacent to the existing zone_movable
are allowed to be onlined movable. In short the criterion for the
successful online_movable changes under udev's feet. A reliable udev
approach would require a 2 phase approach where the first successful
movable online would have to check all the previous blocks and online
them in descending order. This is hard to be considered sane.
This patchset aims at making the onlining semantic more usable. First
of all it allows to online memory movable as long as it doesn't clash
with the existing ZONE_NORMAL. That means that ZONE_NORMAL and
ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap. Currently I preserve the original ordering
semantic so the zone always precedes the movable zone but I have plans
to remove this restriction in future because it is not really necessary.
First 3 patches are cleanups which should be ready to be merged right
away (unless I have missed something subtle of course).
Patch 4 deals with ZONE_DEVICE dependencies down the __add_pages path.
Patch 5 deals with implicit assumptions of register_one_node on pgdat
initialization.
Patches 6-10 deal with offline holes in the zone for pfn walkers. I
hope I got all of them right but people familiar with compaction should
double check this.
Patch 11 is the core of the change. In order to make it easier to
review I have tried it to be as minimalistic as possible and the large
code removal is moved to patch 14.
Patch 12 is a trivial follow up cleanup. Patch 13 fixes sparse warnings
and finally patch 14 removes the unused code.
I have tested the patches in kvm:
# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -monitor pty -m 2G,slots=4,maxmem=4G -numa node,mem=1G -numa node,mem=1G ...
and then probed the additional memory by
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
Then I have used this simple script to probe the memory block by hand
# cat probe_memblock.sh
#!/bin/sh
BLOCK_NR=$1
# echo $((0x100000000+$BLOCK_NR*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
# for i in $(seq 10); do sh probe_memblock.sh $i; done
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable
The main difference to the original implementation is that all new
memblocks can be both online_kernel and online_movable initially because
there is no clash obviously. For the comparison the original
implementation would have
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable
Now
# echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Movable
Block 33 can still be online both kernel and movable while all
the remaining can be only movable.
/proc/zonelist says
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 0
min 0

high 0

present 0
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 32753
min 85
low 117
high 149
spanned 32768
present 32768
A new memblock at a lower address will result in a new memblock (32)
which will still allow both Normal and Movable.
# sh probe_memblock.sh 0
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3[2-5]/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable
and online_kernel will convert it to the zone normal properly
while 33 can be still onlined both ways.
# echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3[2-5]/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable
/proc/zoneinfo will now tell
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 65441
min 165
low 230
high 295
spanned 65536
present 65536
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 32740
min 82
low 114
high 146
spanned 32768
present 32768
so both zones have one memblock spanned and present.
Onlining 39 should associate this block to the movable zone
# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/state
/proc/zoneinfo will now tell
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 32765
min 80
low 112
high 144
spanned 32768
present 32768
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 65501
min 160
low 225
high 290
spanned 196608
present 65536
so we will have a movable zone which spans 6 memblocks, 2 present and 4
representing a hole.
Offlining both movable blocks will lead to the zone with no present
pages which is the expected behavior I believe.
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/state
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state
# grep -A6 "Movable\|Normal" /proc/zoneinfo
Node 0, zone Normal

present 32768

As a bonus we will get a nice cleanup in the memory hotplug codebase.
This patch (of 16):
init_currently_empty_zone doesn't have any error to return yet it is
still an int and callers try to be defensive and try to handle potential

If there is no compound map for a THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that the map count of some sub-pages of the THP is 0. So it is
better to split the THP before swapping out. In this way, the sub-pages
not mapped will be freed, and we can avoid the unnecessary swap out
operations for these sub-pages.

To swap out THP (Transparent Huage Page), before splitting the THP, the
swap cluster will be allocated and the THP will be added into the swap
cache. But it is possible that the THP cannot be split, so that we must
delete the THP from the swap cache and free the swap cluster. To avoid
that, in this patch, whether the THP can be split is checked firstly.
The check can only be done racy, but it is good enough for most cases.
With the patch, the swap out throughput improves 3.6% (from about
4.16GB/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.

The add_to_swap aims to allocate swap_space(ie, swap slot and swapcache)
so if it fails due to lack of space in case of THP or something(hdd swap
but tries THP swapout) *caller* rather than add_to_swap itself should
split the THP page and retry it with base page which is more natural.

Now, get_swap_page takes struct page and allocates swap space according
to page size(ie, normal or THP) so it would be more cleaner to introduce
put_swap_page which is a counter function of get_swap_page. Then, it
calls right swap slot free function depending on page's size.

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.

If a candidate stable_node_dup has been found and it can accept further
merges it can be refiled to the head of the list to speedup next
searches without altering which dup is found and how the dups accumulate
in the chain.
We already refiled it back to the head in the prune_stale_stable_nodes
case, but we didn't refile it if not pruning (which is more common).
And we also refiled it when it was already at the head which is
unnecessary (in the prune_stale_stable_nodes case, nr > 1 means there's
more than one dup in the chain, it doesn't mean it's not already at the
head of the chain).
The stable_node_chain list is single threaded and there's no SMP locking
contention so it should be faster to refile it to the head of the list
also if prune_stale_stable_nodes is false.
Profiling shows the refile happens 1.9% of the time when a dup is found
with a max_page_sharing limit setting of 3 (with max_page_sharing of 2
the refile never happens of course as there's never space for one more
merge) which is reasonably low. At higher max_page_sharing values it
should be much less frequent.
This is just an optimization.

Some static checker complains if chain/chain_prune returns a potentially
stale pointer.
There are two output parameters to chain/chain_prune, one is tree_page
the other is stable_node_dup. Like in get_ksm_page the caller has to
check tree_page is NULL before touching the stable_node. Similarly in
chain/chain_prune the caller has to check tree_page before touching the
stable_node_dup returned or the original stable_node passed as
parameter.
Because the tree_page is never returned as a stale pointer, it may be
more intuitive to return tree_page and to pass stable_node_dup for
reference instead of the reverse.
This patch purely swaps the two output parameters of chain/chain_prune
as a cleanup for the static checker and to mimic the get_ksm_page
behavior more closely. There's no change to the caller at all except
the swap, it's purely a cleanup and it is a noop from the caller point
of view.

Patch series "KSMscale cleanup/optimizations".
There are no fixes here it's just minor cleanups and optimizations.
1/3 removes makes the "fix" for the stale stable_node fall in the
standard case without introducing new cases. Setting stable_node to
NULL was marginally safer, but stale pointer is still wiped from the
caller, this looks cleaner.
2/3 should fix the false positive from Dan's static checker.
3/3 is a microoptimization to apply the the refile of future merge
candidate dups at the head of the chain in all cases and to skip it in
one case where we did it and but it was a noop (to avoid checking if
it was already at the head but now we've to check it anyway so it got
optimized away).
This patch (of 3):
When the stable_node chain is collapsed we can as well set the caller
stable_node to match the returned stable_node_dup in chain_prune().
This way the collapse case becomes indistinguishable from the regular
stable_node case and we can remove two branches from the KSM page
migration handling slow paths.
While it was all correct this looks cleaner (and faster) as the caller has
to deal with fewer special cases.

If merge_across_nodes was manually set to 0 (not the default value) by
the admin or a tuned profile on NUMA systems triggering cross-NODE page
migrations, a stable_node use after free could materialize.
If the chain is collapsed stable_node would point to the old chain that
was already freed. stable_node_dup would be the stable_node dup now
converted to a regular stable_node and indexed in the rbtree in
replacement of the freed stable_node chain (not anymore a dup).
This special case where the chain is collapsed in the NUMA replacement
path, is now detected by setting stable_node to NULL by the chain_prune
callee if it decides to collapse the chain. This tells the NUMA
replacement code that even if stable_node and stable_node_dup are
different, this is not a chain if stable_node is NULL, as the
stable_node_dup was converted to a regular stable_node and the chain was
collapsed.
It is generally safer for the callee to force the caller stable_node to
NULL the moment it become stale so any other mistake like this would
result in an instant Oops easier to debug than an use after free.
Otherwise the replace logic would act like if stable_node was a valid
chain, when in fact it was freed. Notably
stable_node_chain_add_dup(page_node, stable_node) would run on a stable
stable_node.
Andrey Ryabinin found the source of the use after free in chain_prune().

Without a max deduplication limit for each KSM page, the list of the
rmap_items associated to each stable_node can grow infinitely large.
During the rmap walk each entry can take up to ~10usec to process
because of IPIs for the TLB flushing (both for the primary MMU and the
secondary MMUs with the MMU notifier). With only 16GB of address space
shared in the same KSM page, that would amount to dozens of seconds of
kernel runtime.
A ~256 max deduplication factor will reduce the latencies of the rmap
walks on KSM pages to order of a few msec. Just doing the
cond_resched() during the rmap walks is not enough, the list size must
have a limit too, otherwise the caller could get blocked in (schedule
friendly) kernel computations for seconds, unexpectedly.
There's room for optimization to significantly reduce the IPI delivery
cost during the page_referenced(), but at least for page_migration in
the KSM case (used by hard NUMA bindings, compaction and NUMA balancing)
it may be inevitable to send lots of IPIs if each rmap_item->mm is
active on a different CPU and there are lots of CPUs. Even if we ignore
the IPI delivery cost, we've still to walk the whole KSM rmap list, so
we can't allow millions or billions (ulimited) number of entries in the
KSM stable_node rmap_item lists.
The limit is enforced efficiently by adding a second dimension to the
stable rbtree. So there are three types of stable_nodes: the regular
ones (identical as before, living in the first flat dimension of the
stable rbtree), the "chains" and the "dups".
Every "chain" and all "dups" linked into a "chain" enforce the invariant
that they represent the same write protected memory content, even if
each "dup" will be pointed by a different KSM page copy of that content.
This way the stable rbtree lookup computational complexity is unaffected
if compared to an unlimited max_sharing_limit. It is still enforced
that there cannot be KSM page content duplicates in the stable rbtree
itself.
Adding the second dimension to the stable rbtree only after the
max_page_sharing limit hits, provides for a zero memory footprint
increase on 64bit archs. The memory overhead of the per-KSM page
stable_tree and per virtual mapping rmap_item is unchanged. Only after
the max_page_sharing limit hits, we need to allocate a stable_tree
"chain" and rb_replace() the "regular" stable_node with the newly
allocated stable_node "chain". After that we simply add the "regular"
stable_node to the chain as a stable_node "dup" by linking hlist_dup in
the stable_node_chain->hlist. This way the "regular" (flat) stable_node
is converted to a stable_node "dup" living in the second dimension of
the stable rbtree.
During stable rbtree lookups the stable_node "chain" is identified as
stable_node->rmap_hlist_len == STABLE_NODE_CHAIN (aka
is_stable_node_chain()).
When dropping stable_nodes, the stable_node "dup" is identified as
stable_node->head == STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD (aka is_stable_node_dup()).
The STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD must be an unique valid pointer never used
elsewhere in any stable_node->head/node to avoid a clashes with the
stable_node->node.rb_parent_color pointer, and different from
&migrate_nodes. So the second field of &migrate_nodes is picked and
verified as always safe with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case the list_head
implementation changes in the future.
The STABLE_NODE_DUP is picked as a random negative value in
stable_node->rmap_hlist_len. rmap_hlist_len cannot become negative when
it's a "regular" stable_node or a stable_node "dup".
The stable_node_chain->nid is irrelevant. The stable_node_chain->kpfn
is aliased in a union with a time field used to rate limit the
stable_node_chain->hlist prunes.
The garbage collection of the stable_node_chain happens lazily during
stable rbtree lookups (as for all other kind of stable_nodes), or while
disabling KSM with "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run" while collecting the
entire stable rbtree.
While the "regular" stable_nodes and the stable_node "dups" must wait
for their underlying tree_page to be freed before they can be freed
themselves, the stable_node "chains" can be freed immediately if the
stable_node->hlist turns empty. This is because the "chains" are never
pointed by any page->mapping and they're effectively stable rbtree KSM
self contained metadata.

While it is not clear to me whether the initialization code violates the
specification (6.7.8 par 19 (ISO/IEC 9899) looks like it disagrees) the
code is quite confusing and worth cleaning up anyway. Fix this by
reusing sc.gfp_mask rather than the updated input gfp_mask parameter.

There are a number of times that we loop over NR_MEM_SECTIONS, looking
for section_present() on each section. But, when we have very large
physical address spaces (large MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS), NR_MEM_SECTIONS
becomes very large, making the loops quite long.
With MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=46 and a section size of 128MB, the current loops
are 512k iterations, which we barely notice on modern hardware. But,
raising MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS higher (like we will see on systems that
support 5-level paging) makes this 64x longer and we start to notice,
especially on slower systems like simulators. A 10-second delay for
512k iterations is annoying. But, a 640- second delay is crippling.
This does not help if we have extremely sparse physical address spaces,
but those are quite rare. We expect that most of the "slow" systems
where this matters will also be quite small and non-sparse.
To fix this, we track the highest section we've ever encountered. This
lets us know when we will *never* see another section_present(), and
lets us break out of the loops earlier.
Doing the whole for_each_present_section_nr() macro is probably
overkill, but it will ensure that any future loop iterations that we
grow are more likely to be correct.
Kirrill said "It shaved almost 40 seconds from boot time in qemu with
5-level paging enabled for me".

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and
filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors
at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from
most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from
filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of
contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but
also in truncate calls, getattr, etc.
The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback
errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out
errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at
nonsensical times.
If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that
it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also
clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug,
and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption.
This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and
reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my
original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that
current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most
applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote
has hit the backing store.
In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same
time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will
see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open
fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even
be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync
callers is not really an option.
One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used
to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be
slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here
without incurring too much overhead.
This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding
one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the
mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since"
value.
This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that
applications can now use it to determine whether there were any
writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was
opened in the case of fsync having never been called).
Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data
that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now
with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure.
This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success.
The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more
reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic
infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor"
is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the
existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at
fsync time.

The -EIO returned here can end up overriding whatever error is marked in
the address space, and be returned at fsync time, even when there is a
more appropriate error stored in the mapping.
Read errors are also sometimes tracked on a per-page level using
PG_error. Suppose we have a read error on a page, and then that page is
subsequently dirtied by overwriting the whole page. Writeback doesn't
clear PG_error, so we can then end up successfully writing back that
page and still return -EIO on fsync.
Worse yet, PG_error is cleared during a sync() syscall, but the -EIO
return from that is silently discarded. Any subsystem that is relying on
PG_error to report errors during fsync can easily lose writeback errors
due to this. All you need is a stray sync() call to wait for writeback
to complete and you've lost the error.
Since the handling of the PG_error flag is somewhat inconsistent across
subsystems, let's just rely on marking the address space when there are
writeback errors. Change the TestClearPageError call to ClearPageError,
and make __filemap_fdatawait_range a void return function.

filemap_write_and_wait{_range} will return an error if writeback
initiation fails, but won't clear errors in the address_space. This is
particularly problematic on DAX, as filemap_fdatawrite* is
effectively synchronous there. Ensure that we clear the AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC
flags when filemap_fdatawrite* returns an error.
