Patch series "mm: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap for large
mapping", v11.
Background:
Recently, when we ran some vm scalability tests on machines with large memory,
we ran into a couple of mmap_sem scalability issues when unmapping large memory
space, please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/733 and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/20/576.
History:
Then akpm suggested to unmap large mapping section by section and drop mmap_sem
at a time to mitigate it (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/6/784).
V1 patch series was submitted to the mailing list per Andrew's suggestion
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/786). Then I received a lot great
feedback and suggestions.
Then this topic was discussed on LSFMM summit 2018. In the summit, Michal
Hocko suggested (also in the v1 patches review) to try "two phases"
approach. Zapping pages with read mmap_sem, then doing via cleanup with
write mmap_sem (for discussion detail, see
https://lwn.net/Articles/753269/)
Approach:
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion from
Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read mmap_sem, like
what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to cleanup vmas.
But, we can't call MADV_DONTNEED directly, since there are two major drawbacks:
* The unexpected state from PF if it wins the race in the middle of munmap.
It may return zero page, instead of the content or SIGSEGV.
* Can't handle VM_LOCKED | VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP and uprobe mappings, which
is a showstopper from akpm
But, some part may need write mmap_sem, for example, vma splitting. So,
the design is as follows:
acquire write mmap_sem
lookup vmas (find and split vmas)
deal with special mappings
detach vmas
downgrade_write
zap pages
free page tables
release mmap_sem
The vm events with read mmap_sem may come in during page zapping, but
since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e. page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.
If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings. They will be handled by falling back to regular do_munmap()
with exclusive mmap_sem held in this patch since they may update vm flags.
But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached
when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read
mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be
handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for
bisectable sake.
Unmapping uprobe areas may need update mm flags (MMF_RECALC_UPROBES).
However it is fine to have false-positive MMF_RECALC_UPROBES according to
uprobes developer. So, uprobe unmap will not be handled by the regular
path.
With the "detach vmas first" approach we don't have to re-acquire mmap_sem
again to clean up vmas to avoid race window which might get the address
space changed since downgrade_write() doesn't release the lock to lead
regression, which simply downgrades to read lock.
And, since the lock acquire/release cost is managed to the minimum and
almost as same as before, the optimization could be extended to any size
of mapping without incurring significant penalty to small mappings.
For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path. Other
vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites (i.e mmap, mremap, etc) remain
intact due to some implementation difficulties since they acquire write
mmap_sem from very beginning and hold it until the end, do_munmap() might
be called in the middle. But, the optimized do_munmap would like to be
called without mmap_sem held so that we can do the optimization. So, if
we want to do the similar optimization for mmap/mremap path, I'm afraid we
would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.
This patch (of 3):
When running some mmap/munmap scalability tests with large memory (i.e.
> 300GB), the below hung task issue may happen occasionally.

It is because munmap holds mmap_sem exclusively from very beginning to all
the way down to the end, and doesn't release it in the middle. When
unmapping large mapping, it may take long time (take ~18 seconds to unmap
320GB mapping with every single page mapped on an idle machine).
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion
from Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read
mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to

since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e. page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.
If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings. They will be handled by without downgrading mmap_sem in this
patch since they may update vm flags.
But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached
when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read
mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be
handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for

would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.
With the patches, exclusive mmap_sem hold time when munmap a 80GB address
space on a machine with 32 cores of E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz dropped to us level
from second.
munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380138: funcgraph_entry: |
__vm_munmap() {
munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380146: funcgraph_entry: !2485684 us
| unmap_region();
munmap_test-15002 [008] 596.865836: funcgraph_exit: !2485692 us
| }
Here the execution time of unmap_region() is used to evaluate the time of
holding read mmap_sem, then the remaining time is used with holding
exclusive lock.

should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of
show_mem on large NUMA systems. Things have changed since then though.
Namely c78e93630d ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during
show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably.
Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from
the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats.
Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially
interesting information about allocation failures. We have seen a bug
report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is
only
kernel: [2032243.696888] qlge 0000:8b:00.1 ql1: Could not get a page chunk, i=8, clean_idx =200 .

without an additional information for debugging. It would be great to see
the state of the page allocator at the moment.

The refault stats go better with the page fault stats, and are of
higher interest than the stats on LRU operations. In fact they used to
be grouped together; when the LRU operation stats were added later on,
they were wedged in between.
Move them back together. Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst
already lists them in the right order.

The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been
read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such
as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset
of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache.
Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for
the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every
two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object.
This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is
not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with
eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either.
In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual
caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually
get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where
that's not true.
Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file
workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the
kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident
parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are
expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per
the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory.
These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use
/proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to
absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which
isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created
without involving the disk.
This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in
a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This
allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do
cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as
IO-backed objects are under pressure.
It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as
excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim
and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend
a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This
isn't tracked right now.
To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task,
measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to
read back into memory.

Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place
thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of
applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the
system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure
between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset.
During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out
established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however,
and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing.
Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been
active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow
entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing.
How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit?
20 bits are always page flags
21 if you have an MMU
23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable
29 with the sparsemem section bits
30 if PAE is enabled
31 with this patch.
So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If
that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6
or 7 sparsemem section bits.

Patch series "psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO", v4.
Overview
PSI reports the overall wallclock time in which the tasks in a system (or
cgroup) wait for (contended) hardware resources.
This helps users understand the resource pressure their workloads are
under, which allows them to rootcause and fix throughput and latency
problems caused by overcommitting, underprovisioning, suboptimal job
placement in a grid; as well as anticipate major disruptions like OOM.
Real-world applications
We're using the data collected by PSI (and its previous incarnation,
memdelay) quite extensively at Facebook, and with several success stories.
One usecase is avoiding OOM hangs/livelocks. The reason these happen is
because the OOM killer is triggered by reclaim not being able to free
pages, but with fast flash devices there is *always* some clean and
uptodate cache to reclaim; the OOM killer never kicks in, even as tasks
spend 90% of the time thrashing the cache pages of their own executables.
There is no situation where this ever makes sense in practice. We wrote a
<100 line POC python script to monitor memory pressure and kill stuff way
before such pathological thrashing leads to full system losses that would
require forcible hard resets.
We've since extended and deployed this code into other places to guarantee
latency and throughput SLAs, since they're usually violated way before the
kernel OOM killer would ever kick in.
It is available here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/oomd
Eventually we probably want to trigger the in-kernel OOM killer based on
extreme sustained pressure as well, so that Linux can avoid memory
livelocks - which technically aren't deadlocks, but to the user
indistinguishable from them - out of the box. We'd continue using OOMD as
the first line of defense to ensure workload health and implement complex
kill policies that are beyond the scope of the kernel.
We also use PSI memory pressure for loadshedding. Our batch job
infrastructure used to use heuristics based on various VM stats to
anticipate OOM situations, with lackluster success. We switched it to PSI
and managed to anticipate and avoid OOM kills and lockups fairly reliably.
The reduction of OOM outages in the worker pool raised the pool's
aggregate productivity, and we were able to switch that service to smaller
machines.
Lastly, we use cgroups to isolate a machine's main workload from
maintenance crap like package upgrades, logging, configuration, as well as
to prevent multiple workloads on a machine from stepping on each others'
toes. We were not able to configure this properly without the pressure
metrics; we would see latency or bandwidth drops, but it would often be
hard to impossible to rootcause it post-mortem.
We now log and graph pressure for the containers in our fleet and can
trivially link latency spikes and throughput drops to shortages of
specific resources after the fact, and fix the job config/scheduling.
PSI has also received testing, feedback, and feature requests from Android
and EndlessOS for the purpose of low-latency OOM killing, to intervene in
pressure situations before the UI starts hanging.
How do you use this feature?
A kernel with CONFIG_PSI=y will create a /proc/pressure directory with 3
files: cpu, memory, and io. If using cgroup2, cgroups will also have
cpu.pressure, memory.pressure and io.pressure files, which simply
aggregate task stalls at the cgroup level instead of system-wide.
The cpu file contains one line:
some avg10=2.04 avg60=0.75 avg300=0.40 total=157656722
The averages give the percentage of walltime in which one or more tasks
are delayed on the runqueue while another task has the CPU. They're
recent averages over 10s, 1m, 5m windows, so you can tell short term
trends from long term ones, similarly to the load average.
The total= value gives the absolute stall time in microseconds. This
allows detecting latency spikes that might be too short to sway the
running averages. It also allows custom time averaging in case the
10s/1m/5m windows aren't adequate for the usecase (or are too coarse with
future hardware).
What to make of this "some" metric? If CPU utilization is at 100% and CPU
pressure is 0, it means the system is perfectly utilized, with one
runnable thread per CPU and nobody waiting. At two or more runnable tasks
per CPU, the system is 100% overcommitted and the pressure average will
indicate as much. From a utilization perspective this is a great state of
course: no CPU cycles are being wasted, even when 50% of the threads were
to go idle (as most workloads do vary). From the perspective of the
individual job it's not great, however, and they would do better with more
resources. Depending on what your priority and options are, raised "some"
numbers may or may not require action.
The memory file contains two lines:
some avg10=70.24 avg60=68.52 avg300=69.91 total=3559632828
full avg10=57.59 avg60=58.06 avg300=60.38 total=3300487258
The some line is the same as for cpu, the time in which at least one task
is stalled on the resource. In the case of memory, this includes waiting
on swap-in, page cache refaults and page reclaim.
The full line, however, indicates time in which *nobody* is using the CPU
productively due to pressure: all non-idle tasks are waiting for memory in
one form or another. Significant time spent in there is a good trigger
for killing things, moving jobs to other machines, or dropping incoming
requests, since neither the jobs nor the machine overall are making too
much headway.
The io file is similar to memory. Because the block layer doesn't have a
concept of hardware contention right now (how much longer is my IO request
taking due to other tasks?), it reports CPU potential lost on all IO
delays, not just the potential lost due to competition.
FAQ
Q: How is PSI's CPU component different from the load average?
A: There are several quirks in the load average that make it hard to
impossible to tell how overcommitted the CPU really is.
1. The load average is reported as a raw number of active tasks.
You need to know how many CPUs there are in the system, how many
CPUs the workload is allowed to use, then think about what the
proportion between load and the number of CPUs mean for the
tasks trying to run.
PSI reports the percentage of wallclock time in which tasks are
waiting for a CPU to run on. It doesn't matter how many CPUs are
present or usable. The number always tells the quality of life
of tasks in the system or in a particular cgroup.
2. The shortest averaging window is 1m, which is extremely coarse,
and it's sampled in 5s intervals. A *lot* can happen on a CPU in
5 seconds. This *may* be able to identify persistent long-term
trends and very clear and obvious overloads, but it's unusable
for latency spikes and more subtle overutilization.
PSI's shortest window is 10s. It also exports the cumulative
stall times (in microseconds) of synchronously recorded events.
3. On Linux, the load average for historical reasons includes all
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. This gives a broader sense of how
busy the system is, but on the flipside it doesn't distinguish
whether tasks are likely to contend over the CPU or IO - which
obviously requires very different interventions from a sys admin
or a job scheduler.
PSI reports independent metrics for CPU and IO. You can tell
which resource is making the tasks wait, but in conjunction
still see how overloaded the system is overall.
Q: What's the cost / performance impact of this feature?
A: PSI's primary cost is in the scheduler, in particular task wakeups
and sleeps.
I benchmarked this code using Facebook's two most scheduling
sensitive workloads: memcache and webserver. They handle a ton of
small requests - lots of wakeups and sleeps with little actual work
in between - so they tend to be canaries for scheduler regressions.
In the tests, the boxes were handling live traffic over the course
of several hours. Half the machines, the control, ran with
CONFIG_PSI=n.
For memcache I used eight machines total. They're 2-socket, 14
core, 56 thread boxes. The test runs for half the test period,
flips the test and control kernels on the hardware to rule out HW
factors, DC location etc., then runs the other half of the test.
For the webservers, I used 32 machines total. They're single
socket, 16 core, 32 thread machines.
During the memcache test, CPU load was nopsi=78.05% psi=78.98% in
the first half and nopsi=77.52% psi=78.25%, so PSI added between
0.7 and 0.9 percentage points to the CPU load, a difference of
about 1%.
UPDATE: I re-ran this test with the v3 version of this patch set
and the CPU utilization was equivalent between test and control.
UPDATE: v4 is on par with v3.
As far as end-to-end request latency from the client perspective
goes, we don't sample those finely enough to capture the requests
going to those particular machines during the test, but we know the
p50 turnaround time in this workload is 54us, and perf bench sched
pipe on those machines show nopsi=5.232666 us/op and psi=5.587347
us/op, so this doesn't add much here either.
The profile for the pipe benchmark shows:
0.87% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_group_change
0.83% perf.real [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_group_change
0.82% perf.real [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_task_change
0.58% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_task_change
The webserver load is running inside 4 nested cgroup levels. The
CPU load with both nopsi and psi kernels was indistinguishable at
81%.
For comparison, we had to disable the cgroup cpu controller on the
webservers because it added 4 percentage points to the CPU% during
this same exact test.
Versions of this accounting code now run on 80% of our fleet. None
of our workloads have reported regressions during the rollout.

This patch (of 9):
If we keep just enough refault information to match the *current* page
cache during reclaim time, we could lose a lot of events when there is
only a temporary spike in non-cache memory consumption that pushes out all
the cache. Once cache comes back, we won't see those refaults. They
might not be actionable for LRU aging, but we want to know about them for
measuring memory pressure.

Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the
sizes are expressed in bytes. Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names
as short as possible e.g. in /proc/slabinfo. This works, as we mostly
use power-of-two sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.
Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M'

The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by
commit eb59254608 ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with
the goal of accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be
allocated via a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache. This is now possible via
kmalloc() with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user
is converted.
The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations
(i.e. not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool. So keep it,
and:
- change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page
allocations should be able to use kmalloc
- rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE
- expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can
again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters

Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which
indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory
pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages
accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the
MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages
are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for
anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility.
The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes
are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size
cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A
prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation
of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES
in commit f1782c9bc5 ("dcache: account external names as indirectly
reclaimable memory").
To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X.
They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among
gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type.
Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type
cache.
This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since
SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of
kmem management objects.

Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4.
As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces
kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses
them for dcache external names. That allows us to repurpose the
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series.
With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-*
caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting. More importantly, it
also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages
separate from the regular kmalloc allocations. The need for proper
accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving
process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs. Without the
added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the
dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note:
I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc
allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some). A
pathological case would be e.g. one 64byte regular allocations with 63
external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not
freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can
thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation.
If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified,
they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls.
Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately)
include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening
kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output. The latter is potentially
an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the
values to be in bytes.
This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme:
...
kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0

...

...
/proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter:
...
Shmem: 564 kB
KReclaimable: 11260 kB
Slab: 18368 kB
SReclaimable: 11260 kB
SUnreclaim: 7108 kB

...
This patch (of 6):
The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array
kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations. There are tests for
__GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths. We can avoid the branches by
combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single
two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type". This
will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type.

get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would
not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS
instead. Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow
get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole,
before grabbing the node id of the page.
If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an
address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that
address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail
because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required
for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS.
With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the
get_mempolicy() will continue normally.
Background:
Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT
(vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if
it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT).
This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be
compliant with userfaults.
The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant"
cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2)
had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the
things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't).
So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like
all other major ones already were.
This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called
get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the
memory had a chance to be migrated to destination.
I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but
I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch:

The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a
dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify
and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd
compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search
for syscall misbehavior). Spots like the above are more closer to a
kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than
for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still
nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too.
The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the
implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe
no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static
policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing
everything at 0).

check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this:
if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
return;
Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to
N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other
way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will
never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it.
Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as
well.
We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in
case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <=
ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set
N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally)
Although this works, it is a bit subtle.
I think that this could be easier to follow:
First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL,
without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

Originally, when __swap_entry_free() is called, and its return value is 0,
free_swap_slot() will always be called to free the swap entry to the
per-CPU pool. So move the call to free_swap_slot() to __swap_entry_free()

The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is
almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest
difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional
requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into
__try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call
__try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will
improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs.
There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap()
and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache().
- free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is
unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into
__try_to_reclaim_swap().
- try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks
pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think
this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed
later eventually.

Currently, kmemleak only prints the number of suspected leaks to dmesg but
requires the user to read a debugfs file to get the actual stack traces of
the objects' allocation points. Add a module option to print the full
object information to dmesg too. It can be enabled with
kmemleak.verbose=1 on the kernel command line, or "echo 1 >
/sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/verbose":
This allows easier integration of kmemleak into test systems: We have
automated test infrastructure to test our Linux systems. With this
option, running our tests with kmemleak is as simple as enabling kmemleak
and passing this command line option; the test infrastructure knows how to
save kernel logs, which will now include kmemleak reports. Without this
option, the test infrastructure needs to be specifically taught to read
out the kmemleak debugfs file. Removing this need for special handling
makes kmemleak more similar to other kernel debug options (slab debugging,
debug objects, etc).

Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep
for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe592
("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make
any progress") and lock up the system if OOM.
The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run
even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential
for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky
all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without
much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on
drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others.
Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point,
let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in
order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This
will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down
when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more
robust.

I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a
single pagecache page. Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes
stayed in such state for a long time. That looked strange.
My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU
pressure balancing math:
scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator),
where
denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1.
Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan
size is 1, the result is always 0.
This means the last page is not scanned and has
no chances to be reclaimed.
Fix this by rounding up the result of the division.
In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups
reclaim.

Memcg charge is batched using per-cpu stocks, so an offline memcg can be
pinned by a cached charge up to a moment, when a process belonging to some
other cgroup will charge some memory on the same cpu. In other words,
cached charges can prevent a memory cgroup from being reclaimed for some
time, without any clear need.
Let's optimize it by explicit draining of all stocks on css offlining. As
draining is performed asynchronously, and is skipped if any parallel
draining is happening, it's cheap.

Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
instead it falls back to kmalloc_large().
For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls
kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for
over-sized allocations.
This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for
over-sized allocations for slab. Returning NULL for failed allocations is
the expected behavior.
Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size >
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab().
While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab(). We should check
against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. It all kinda
worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks
the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab(). But if we
get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will
happen. For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code.
Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size >
192 case. This partially compensates for the additional check in slab
code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically).
Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check. This warning means a bug in
slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it.
Nothing of this affects slob.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.
Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further
iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.
Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required.

Use accessor functions to access an iterator's type and direction. This
allows for the possibility of using some other method of determining the
type of iterator than if-chains with bitwise-AND conditions.

Slight change of strategy here; if we have trouble getting hold of a
page for whatever reason (eg a compound page is split underneath us),
don't spin to stabilise the page, just continue the iteration, like we
would if we failed to trylock the page. Since this is a speculative
optimisation, it feels like we should allow the process to take an extra
fault if it turns out to need this page instead of spending time to pin
down a page it may not need.

Use the XArray APIs to add and replace pages in the page cache. This

The page cache offers the ability to search for a miss in the previous or
next N locations. Rather than teach the XArray about the page cache's
definition of a miss, use xas_prev() and xas_next() to search the page
array. This should be more efficient as it does not have to start the
lookup from the top for each index.

Jann Horn points out that our TLB flushing was subtly wrong for the
mremap() case. What makes mremap() special is that we don't follow the
usual "add page to list of pages to be freed, then flush tlb, and then
free pages". No, mremap() obviously just _moves_ the page from one page
table location to another.
That matters, because mremap() thus doesn't directly control the
lifetime of the moved page with a freelist: instead, the lifetime of the
page is controlled by the page table locking, that serializes access to
the entry.
As a result, we need to flush the TLB not just before releasing the lock
for the source location (to avoid any concurrent accesses to the entry),
but also before we release the destination page table lock (to avoid the
TLB being flushed after somebody else has already done something to that
page).
This also makes the whole "need_flush" logic unnecessary, since we now
always end up flushing the TLB for every valid entry.

Daniel Micay reports that attempting to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in an
application causes that application to randomly crash. The existing check
for handling MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE looks up the first VMA that either
overlaps or follows the requested region, and then bails out if that VMA
overlaps *the start* of the requested region. It does not bail out if the
VMA only overlaps another part of the requested region.
Fix it by checking that the found VMA only starts at or after the end of
the requested region, in which case there is no overlap.

hugetlbfs pages have VM_DONTEXPAND in the VmFlags driver pages based on
author testing with analysis from Florian Weimer[1].
The inclusion of VM_DONTEXPAND into the VM_SPECIAL defination was a
consequence of the large useage of VM_DONTEXPAND in device drivers.
A consequence of [2] is that VM_DONTEXPAND marked pages are unable to be
marked DODUMP.
A user could quite legitimately madvise(MADV_DONTDUMP) their hugetlbfs
memory for a while and later request that madvise(MADV_DODUMP) on the same
memory. We correct this omission by allowing madvice(MADV_DODUMP) on
hugetlbfs pages.

do_shrink_slab() returns unsigned long value, and the placing into int
variable cuts high bytes off. Then we compare ret and 0xfffffffe (since
SHRINK_EMPTY is converted to ret type).
Thus a large number of objects returned by do_shrink_slab() may be
interpreted as SHRINK_EMPTY, if low bytes of their value are equal to
0xfffffffe. Fix that by declaration ret as unsigned long in these

Hence the conditonal check should test PagesHuge() flag to make sure that

A transparent huge page is represented by a single entry on an LRU list.
Therefore, we can only make unevictable an entire compound page, not
individual subpages.
If a user tries to mlock() part of a huge page, we want the rest of the
page to be reclaimable.
We handle this by keeping PTE-mapped huge pages on normal LRU lists: the
PMD on border of VM_LOCKED VMA will be split into PTE table.
Introduction of THP migration breaks[1] the rules around mlocking THP
pages. If we had a single PMD mapping of the page in mlocked VMA, the
page will get mlocked, regardless of PTE mappings of the page.
For tmpfs/shmem it's easy to fix by checking PageDoubleMap() in
remove_migration_pmd().
Anon THP pages can only be shared between processes via fork(). Mlocked
page can only be shared if parent mlocked it before forking, otherwise CoW
will be triggered on mlock().
For Anon-THP, we can fix the issue by munlocking the page on removing PTE
migration entry for the page. PTEs for the page will always come after
mlocked PMD: rmap walks VMAs from oldest to newest.

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

When fixing an issue with PMD sharing and migration, it was discovered via
code inspection that other callers of huge_pmd_unshare potentially have an
issue with cache and tlb flushing.
Use the routine adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible() to calculate worst
case ranges for mmu notifiers. Ensure that this range is flushed if
huge_pmd_unshare succeeds and unmaps a PUD_SUZE area.

The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the source
page. This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all vmas where the
page is mapped. This search stops when page mapcount is zero. For shared
PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1 no matter the number of
mappings. Shared mappings are tracked via the reference count of the PMD
page. Therefore, try_to_unmap stops prematurely and does not completely
unmap all mappings of the source page.
This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original
source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the target
page. Hence, data is lost.
This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global areas
after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors. DB
developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug) offlining
memory used to back huge pages. A simple testcase can reproduce the
problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that this must be at least
PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on x86)), and using
migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between nodes while continually
writing to the huge pages being migrated.
To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing by
calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages. If it is a shared
mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table entry and drops
the reference on the PMD page. After this, flush caches and TLB.
mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not be
sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked. Therefore, check for
the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that notifiers can
prepare for the worst possible case.

Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.
Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.
Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.
However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

Introduce xarray value entries and tagged pointers to replace radix
tree exceptional entries. This is a slight change in encoding to allow
the use of an extra bit (we can now store BITS_PER_LONG - 1 bits in a
value entry). It is also a change in emphasis; exceptional entries are
intimidating and different. As the comment explains, you can choose
to store values or pointers in the xarray and they are both first-class
citizens.

9092c71bb7 ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
priority-based:
delta = freeable >> priority;
delta *= 4;
do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);
The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
than 4096 (1<<12).
This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
(almost) never get reclaimed. It's obviously a waste of memory.
It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
reference to a dying cgroup. Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
dying cgroup. If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
away. Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
only remaining objects from dying children cgroups. So it can easily hold
a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.
If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
"leak". It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
but it could not happen in a real life at all. I've seen hosts with a
steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
workload.
It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
pressure even on small shrinker lists. E.g. if there are freeable
objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.
This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only
potentially expensive, it's buggy too. It also happens to be entirely
unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by
simply making the sequence number be 64-bit. That doesn't even grow the
data structures in question, because the other adjacent fields are
already 64-bit.
So simplify the whole thing by just making the sequence number overflow
case go away entirely, which gets rid of all the complications and makes
the code faster too. Win-win.

When scanning for movable pages, filter out Hugetlb pages if hugepage
migration is not supported. Without this we hit infinte loop in
__offline_pages() where we do
pfn = scan_movable_pages(start_pfn, end_pfn);
if (pfn) { /* We have movable pages */
ret = do_migrate_range(pfn, end_pfn);
goto repeat;
}
Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in
has_unmovable_pages which is the primary backoff mechanism for page
offlining and for consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages
because it doesn't make any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable
huge page.

If kmemleak built in to the kernel, but is disabled by default, the
debugfs file is never registered. Because of this, it is not possible
to find out if the kernel is built with kmemleak support by checking for
the presence of this file. To allow this, always register the file.
After this patch, if the file doesn't exist, kmemleak is not available
in the kernel. If writing "scan" or any other value than "clear" to
this file results in EBUSY, then kmemleak is available but is disabled
by default and can be activated via the kernel command line.
Catalin: "that's also consistent with a late disabling of kmemleak when
the debugfs entry sticks around."

As a result inc_tlb_flush_pending has been called without its pairing
dec_tlb_flush_pending and all callers mm_tlb_flush_pending would flush
even though this is not really needed. This alone is not harmful and it
seems there shouldn't be any such callers for oom victims at all but
there is no real reason to skip tlb_finish_mmu on early skip either so
call it.

When the memcg OOM killer runs out of killable tasks, it currently
prints a WARN with no further OOM context. This has caused some user
confusion.
Warnings indicate a kernel problem. In a reported case, however, the
situation was triggered by a nonsensical memcg configuration (hard limit
set to 0). But without any VM context this wasn't obvious from the
report, and it took some back and forth on the mailing list to identify
what is actually a trivial issue.
Handle this OOM condition like we handle it in the global OOM killer:
dump the full OOM context and tell the user we ran out of tasks.
This way the user can identify misconfigurations easily by themselves
and rectify the problem - without having to go through the hassle of
running into an obscure but unsettling warning, finding the appropriate
kernel mailing list and waiting for a kernel developer to remote-analyze
that the memcg configuration caused this.
If users cannot make sense of why the OOM killer was triggered or why it
failed, they will still report it to the mailing list, we know that from
experience. So in case there is an actual kernel bug causing this,
kernel developers will very likely hear about it.

It is common for architectures with hugepage support to require only a
single TLB invalidation operation per hugepage during unmap(), rather than
iterating through the mapping at a PAGE_SIZE increment. Currently,
however, the level in the page table where the unmap() operation occurs
is not stored in the mmu_gather structure, therefore forcing
architectures to issue additional TLB invalidation operations or to give
up and over-invalidate by e.g. invalidating the entire TLB.
Ideally, we could add an interval rbtree to the mmu_gather structure,
which would allow us to associate the correct mapping granule with the
various sub-mappings within the range being invalidated. However, this
is costly in terms of book-keeping and memory management, so instead we
approximate by keeping track of the page table levels that are cleared
and provide a means to query the smallest granule required for invalidation.

There have been multiple kernel vulnerabilities that permitted userspace to
pass completely unchecked pointers through to userspace accessors:
- the waitid() bug - commit 96ca579a1e ("waitid(): Add missing
access_ok() checks")
- the sg/bsg read/write APIs
- the infiniband read/write APIs
These don't happen all that often, but when they do happen, it is hard to
test for them properly; and it is probably also hard to discover them with
fuzzing. Even when an unmapped kernel address is supplied to such buggy
code, it just returns -EFAULT instead of doing a proper BUG() or at least
WARN().
Try to make such misbehaving code a bit more visible by refusing to do a
fixup in the pagefault handler code when a userspace accessor causes a #PF
on a kernel address and the current context isn't whitelisted.

Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
the cgwbs (writeback).
2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
frees the blkcg.
Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.
The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
cgwb_refcnt is put back.
2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
held by each blkg is released.
3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
This finally frees the blkg.
It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.

"As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
mappings.
In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:
1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
that would typically be handled by the page lock.
2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
"compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.
3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.
A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
Specifically the current behavior is:
mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
{1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.
It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.
This patch was inspired by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447
which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.
That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b02 ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
Ref-> commit 1c8f422059 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type. As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.
The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.
vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

Patch series "memory management documentation updates", v3.
Here are several updates to the mm documentation.
Aside from really minor changes in the first three patches, the updates
are:
* move the documentation of kstrdup and friends to "String Manipulation"
section
* split memory management API into a separate .rst file
* adjust formating of the GFP flags description and include it in the
reference documentation.
This patch (of 7):
The description of the strndup_user function misses '*' character at the
beginning of the comment to be proper kernel-doc. Add the missing
character.

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."
Two main changes of this patch are:
- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
after put_page() returns,
- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
that is decided to be allocated soon.

Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation".
Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages
of soft offlining. Discussion and analysis showed that we need make
sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under
zone->lock for soft offline. 1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2
hanldes free buddy page's case.
This patch (of 2):
There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which
causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure.
The process killing is caused by the following flow:
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2
soft offline
get_any_page
// find the hugetlb is free
mmap a hugetlb file
page fault
...
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
alloc_huge_page
// succeed
soft_offline_free_page
// set hwpoison flag
mmap the hugetlb file
page fault
...
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
find_lock_page
return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
mm_fault_error
do_sigbus
// kill the process
The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow:
CPU 0 CPU 1
mmap a hugetlb file
// reserve all free page but don't fault-in
soft offline
get_any_page
// find the hugetlb is free
soft_offline_free_page
// set hwpoison flag
dissolve_free_huge_page
// fail because all free hugepages are reserved
page fault
...
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
alloc_huge_page
...
dequeue_huge_page_node_exact
// ignore hwpoisoned hugepage
// and finally fail due to no-mem
The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based
on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid
accessing the corrupted data. This makes sense for memory_failure() or
hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about
corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost. This patch
changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after
containment of the error page completes successfully.

The generic tlb_end_vma does not call invalidate_range mmu notifier, and
it resets resets the mmu_gather range, which means the notifier won't be
called on part of the range in case of an unmap that spans multiple
vmas.
ARM64 seems to be the only arch I could see that has notifiers and uses
the generic tlb_end_vma. I have not actually tested it.
[ Catalin and Will point out that ARM64 currently only uses the
notifiers for KVM, which doesn't use the ->invalidate_range()
callback right now, so it's a bug, but one that happens to
not affect them. So not necessary for stable. - Linus ]

Jann reported that x86 was missing required TLB invalidates when he
hit the !*batch slow path in tlb_remove_table().
This is indeed the case; RCU_TABLE_FREE does not provide TLB (cache)
invalidates, the PowerPC-hash where this code originated and the
Sparc-hash where this was subsequently used did not need that. ARM
which later used this put an explicit TLB invalidate in their
__p*_free_tlb() functions, and PowerPC-radix followed that example.
But when we hooked up x86 we failed to consider this. Fix this by
(optionally) hooking tlb_remove_table() into the TLB invalidate code.
NOTE: s390 was also needing something like this and might now
be able to use the generic code again.
[ Modified to be on top of Nick's cleanups, which simplified this patch
now that tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() really only flushes the TLB - Linus ]

Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).
If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().

Commit cafa0010cd ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
recently exposed a brittle part of the build for supporting non-gcc
compilers.
Both Clang and ICC define __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ for quick compatibility with code bases that haven't
added compiler specific checks for __clang__ or __INTEL_COMPILER.
This is brittle, as they happened to get compatibility by posing as a
certain version of GCC. This broke when upgrading the minimal version
of GCC required to build the kernel, to a version above what ICC and
Clang claim to be.
Rather than always including compiler-gcc.h then undefining or
redefining macros in compiler-intel.h or compiler-clang.h, let's
separate out the compiler specific macro definitions into mutually
exclusive headers, do more proper compiler detection, and keep shared
definitions in compiler_types.h.
