To decouple the dependency of lruvec_stats on NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS, we
need to dynamically allocate lruvec_stats in the mem_cgroup_per_node
structure. Also move the definition of lruvec_stats_percpu and
lruvec_stats and related functions to the memcontrol.c to facilitate later
patches. No functional changes in the patch.

Patch series "memcg: reduce memory consumption by memcg stats", v4.
Most of the memory overhead of a memcg object is due to memcg stats
maintained by the kernel. Since stats updates happen in performance
critical codepaths, the stats are maintained per-cpu and numa specific
stats are maintained per-node * per-cpu. This drastically increase the
overhead on large machines i.e. large of CPUs and multiple numa nodes.
This patch series tries to reduce the overhead by at least not allocating
the memory for stats which are not memcg specific.
This patch (of 8):
mem_cgroup_events_index is a translation table to get the right index of
the memcg relevant entry for the general vm_event_item. At the moment, it
is defined as integer array. However on a typical system the max entry of
vm_event_item (NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS) is 113, so we don't need to use int as
storage type of the array. For now just use int8_t as type and add a
BUILD_BUG_ON().
Another benefit of this change is that the translation table fits in 2
cachelines while previously it would require 8 cachelines (assuming 64
bytes cacheline).

Let's document why hugetlb still uses folio_mapcount() and is prone to
leaking memory between processes, for example using vmsplice() that still
uses FOLL_GET.
More details can be found in [1], especially around how hugetlb pages
cannot really be overcommitted, and why we don't particularly care about
these vmsplice() leaks for hugetlb -- in contrast to ordinary memory.

In __folio_remove_rmap(), a large folio is added to deferred split list if
any page in a folio loses its final mapping. But it is possible that the
folio is fully unmapped and adding it to deferred split list is
unnecessary.
For PMD-mapped THPs, that was not really an issue, because removing the
last PMD mapping in the absence of PTE mappings would not have added the
folio to the deferred split queue.
However, for PTE-mapped THPs, which are now more prominent due to mTHP,
they are always added to the deferred split queue. One side effect is
that the THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE stat for a PTE-mapped folio can be
unintentionally increased, making it look like there are many partially
mapped folios -- although the whole folio is fully unmapped stepwise.
Core-mm now tries batch-unmapping consecutive PTEs of PTE-mapped THPs
where possible starting from commit b06dc281aa ("mm/rmap: introduce
folio_remove_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()"). When it happens, a whole PTE-mapped
folio is unmapped in one go and can avoid being added to deferred split
list, reducing the THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE noise. But there will still be
noise when we cannot batch-unmap a complete PTE-mapped folio in one go --
or where this type of batching is not implemented yet, e.g., migration.
To avoid the unnecessary addition, folio->_nr_pages_mapped is checked to
tell if the whole folio is unmapped. If the folio is already on deferred
split list, it will be skipped, too.
Note: commit 98046944a159 ("mm: huge_memory: add the missing
folio_test_pmd_mappable() for THP split statistics") tried to exclude mTHP
deferred split stats from THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE, but it does not fix the
above issue. A fully unmapped PTE-mapped order-9 THP was still added to
deferred split list and counted as THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE, since nr is
512 (non zero), level is RMAP_LEVEL_PTE, and inside deferred_split_folio()
the order-9 folio is folio_test_pmd_mappable().

Patch series "mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity
access recheck".
DAMON provides its best-effort accuracy-overhead tradeoff under the
user-defined ranges of acceptable level of the monitoring accuracy and
overhead. A recent discussion for tiered memory management support from
DAMON[1] concluded that finding memory regions of specific access pattern
with low overhead despite of low accuracy via DAMON first, and then double
checking the access of the region again in a finer (e.g., page)
granularity could be a useful strategy for some DAMOS schemes.
Add a new type of DAMOS filter, namely 'young' for such a case. It checks
each page of DAMOS target region is accessed since the last check, and
filters it out or in if 'matching' parameter is 'true' or 'false',
respectively.
Because this is a filter type that applied in page granularity, the
support depends on DAMON operations set, similar to 'anon' and 'memcg'
DAMOS filter types. Implement the support on the DAMON operations set for
the physical address space, 'paddr', since one of the expected usages[1]
is based on the physical address space.

Instead of checking the anon_vma early in the fault path where all page
faults pay the cost, delay it until we know we're going to need the
anon_vma to be filled in. This will have a slight negative effect on the
first fault in an anonymous VMA, but it shortens every other page fault.
It also makes the code slightly cleaner as the anon and file backed fault
handling look more similar.
The Intel kernel test bot reports a 3x improvement in vm-scalability
throughput with the small-allocs-mt test. This is clearly an extreme
situation that won't be replicated in any real-world workload, but it's a
nice win.

wb_calc_thresh() is calculating wb's share of bg_thresh in the global
domain. However in case of cgroup writeback this is not the right
thing to do. Consider the following domain hierarchy:
global domain (> 20G)
/ \
cgroup1 (10G) cgroup2 (10G)
| |
bdi wb1 wb2
and assume wb1 and wb2 have the same bandwidth and the background
threshold is set at 10%. The bg_thresh of cgroup1 and cgroup2 is going
to be 1G. Now because wb_calc_thresh(mdtc->wb, mdtc->bg_thresh)
calculates per-wb threshold in the global domain as (wb bandwidth) /
(domain bandwidth) it returns bg_thresh for wb1 as 0.5G although it has
nobody to compete against in cgroup1.
Fix the problem by calculating wb's share of bg_thresh in the cgroup
domain.
Test as following:
/* make it easier to observe the issue */
echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/* run fio in wb1 */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir group1
cd group1
echo 10G > memory.high
echo 10G > memory.max
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/
fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=600M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0
/* run fio in wb2 with a new shell */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir group2
cd group2
echo 10G > memory.high
echo 10G > memory.max
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdc
mount /dev/vdc /bdi2/
fio -name test -filename=/bdi2/file -size=600M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0
Before fix, the wrttien pages of wb1 and wb2 reported from
toos/writeback/wb_monitor.py keep growing. After fix, rare written pages
are accumulated.
There is no obvious change in fio result.

This patch (of 5):
/sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats is supposed to show writeback information
of whole bdi, but only writeback information of bdi in root cgroup is
collected. So writeback information in non-root cgroup are missing now.
To be more specific, considering following case:
/* create writeback cgroup */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir group1
cd group1
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
/* do writeback in cgroup */
fio -name test -filename=/dev/vdb ...
/* get writeback info of bdi */
cat /sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats
The cat result unexpectedly implies that there is no writeback on target

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to places where absolutely
required, to prepare for kernel configs where we won't keep track of
per-page mapcounts in large folios.
khugepaged is one of the remaining "more challenging" page_mapcount()
users, but we might be able to move away from page_mapcount() without
resulting in a significant behavior change that would warrant
special-casing based on kernel configs.
In 2020, we first added support to khugepaged for collapsing COW-shared
pages via commit 9445689f3b ("khugepaged: allow to collapse a page
shared across fork"), followed by support for collapsing PTE-mapped THP in
commit 5503fbf2b0 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound
pages") and limiting the memory waste via the "page_count() > 1" check in
commit 71a2c112a0 ("khugepaged: introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable").
As a default, khugepaged will allow up to half of the PTEs to map shared
pages: where page_mapcount() > 1. MADV_COLLAPSE ignores the khugepaged
setting.
khugepaged does currently not care about swapcache page references, and
does not check under folio lock: so in some corner cases the "shared vs.
exclusive" detection might be a bit off, making us detect "exclusive" when
it's actually "shared".
Most of our anonymous folios in the system are usually exclusive. We
frequently see sharing of anonymous folios for a short period of time,
after which our short-lived suprocesses either quit or exec().
There are some famous examples, though, where child processes exist for a
long time, and where memory is COW-shared with a lot of processes
(webservers, webbrowsers, sshd, ...) and COW-sharing is crucial for
reducing the memory footprint. We don't want to suddenly change the
behavior to result in a significant increase in memory waste.
Interestingly, khugepaged will only collapse an anonymous THP if at least
one PTE is writable. After fork(), that means that something (usually a
page fault) populated at least a single exclusive anonymous THP in that
PMD range.
So ... what happens when we switch to "is this folio mapped shared"
instead of "is this page mapped shared" by using
folio_likely_mapped_shared()?
For "not-COW-shared" folios, small folios and for THPs (large folios) that
are completely mapped into at least one process, switching to
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will not result in a change.
We'll only see a change for COW-shared PTE-mapped THPs that are partially
mapped into all involved processes.
There are two cases to consider:
(A) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "false" for a PTE-mapped THP
If the folio is detected as exclusive, and it actually is exclusive,
there is no change: page_mapcount() == 1. This is the common case
without fork() or with short-lived child processes.
folio_likely_mapped_shared() might currently still detect a folio as
exclusive although it is shared (false negatives): if the first page is
not mapped multiple times and if the average per-page mapcount is smaller
than 1, implying that (1) the folio is partially mapped and (2) if we are
responsible for many mapcounts by mapping many pages others can't
("mostly exclusive") (3) if we are not responsible for many mapcounts by
mapping little pages ("mostly shared") it won't make a big impact on the
end result.
So while we might now detect a page as "exclusive" although it isn't,
it's not expected to make a big difference in common cases.
(B) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "true" for a PTE-mapped THP
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will never detect a large anonymous folio
as shared although it is exclusive: there are no false positives.
If we detect a THP as shared, at least one page of the THP is mapped by
another process. It could well be that some pages are actually exclusive.
For example, our child processes could have unmapped/COW'ed some pages
such that they would now be exclusive to out process, which we now
would treat as still-shared.
Examples:
(1) Parent maps all pages of a THP, child maps some pages. We detect
all pages in the parent as shared although some are actually
exclusive.
(2) Parent maps all but some page of a THP, child maps the remainder.
We detect all pages of the THP that the parent maps as shared
although they are all exclusive.
In (1) we wouldn't collapse a THP right now already: no PTE
is writable, because a write fault would have resulted in COW of a
single page and the parent would no longer map all pages of that THP.
For (2) we would have collapsed a THP in the parent so far, now we
wouldn't as long as the child process is still alive: unless the child
process unmaps the remaining THP pages or we decide to split that THP.
Possibly, the child COW'ed many pages, meaning that it's likely that
we can populate a THP for our child first, and then for our parent.
For (2), we are making really bad use of the THP in the first
place (not even mapped completely in at least one process). If the
THP would be completely partially mapped, it would be on the deferred
split queue where we would split it lazily later.
For short-running child processes, we don't particularly care. For
long-running processes, the expectation is that such scenarios are
rather rare: further, a THP might be best placed if most data in the
PMD range is actually written, implying that we'll have to COW more
pages first before khugepaged would collapse it.
To summarize, in the common case, this change is not expected to matter
much. The more common application of khugepaged operates on exclusive
pages, either before fork() or after a child quit.
Can we improve (A)? Yes, if we implement more precise tracking of "mapped
shared" vs. "mapped exclusively", we could get rid of the false negatives
completely.
Can we improve (B)? We could count how many pages of a large folio we map
inside the current page table and detect that we are responsible for most
of the folio mapcount and conclude "as good as exclusive", which might
help in some cases. ... but likely, some other mechanism should detect
that the THP is not a good use in the scenario (not even mapped completely
in a single process) and try splitting that folio lazily etc.
We'll move the folio_test_anon() check before our "shared" check, so we
might get more expressive results for SCAN_EXCEED_SHARED_PTE: this order
of checks now matches the one in __collapse_huge_page_isolate(). Extend
documentation.

A data-race issue in memcg rstat occurs when two distinct code paths

following BUG as a result.

The race occurs because two code paths access the same "stats_updates"
location. Although "stats_updates" is a per-CPU variable, it is remotely
accessed by another CPU at
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()->mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush(), leading to the
data race mentioned.
Considering that memcg_rstat_updated() is in the hot code path, adding a
lock to protect it may not be desirable, especially since this variable
pertains solely to statistics.
Therefore, annotating accesses to stats_updates with READ/WRITE_ONCE() can
prevent KCSAN splats and potential partial reads/writes.

This patch optimizes lazyfreeing with PTE-mapped mTHP[1] (Inspired by
David Hildenbrand[2]). We aim to avoid unnecessary folio splitting if the
large folio is fully mapped within the target range.
If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range. But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up. As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.
On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):

Patch series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free",
v10.
This patchset adds support for lazyfreeing multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via split_folio(). However, we
still need to split a large folio that is not fully mapped within the
target range.
If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range. But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up. As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.
Performance Testing
===================
On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):
Folio Size | Old | New | Change
------------------------------------------
4KiB | 0.590251 | 0.590259 | 0%
16KiB | 2.990447 | 0.185655 | -94%

This patch (of 4):
This commit introduces clear_young_dirty_ptes() to replace mkold_ptes().
By doing so, we can use the same function for both use cases
(madvise_pageout and madvise_free), and it also provides the flexibility
to only clear the dirty flag in the future if needed.

The documentation is wrong and relying on it almost resulted in BUGs in
new callers: ever since fd4a7ac329 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split
is failed due to page refcnt") we return -EAGAIN on unexpected folio
references, not -EBUSY.
Let's fix that and also document which other return values we can
currently see and why they could happen.

Allow page_table_check hooks to check over userfaultfd wr-protect criteria
upon pgtable updates. The rule is no co-existance allowed for any
writable flag against userfault wr-protect flag.
This should be better than c2da319c2e, where we used to only sanitize such
issues during a pgtable walk, but when hitting such issue we don't have a
good chance to know where does that writable bit came from [1], so that
even the pgtable walk exposes a kernel bug (which is still helpful on
triaging) but not easy to track and debug.
Now we switch to track the source. It's much easier too with the recent
introduction of page table check.
There are some limitations with using the page table check here for
userfaultfd wr-protect purpose:
- It is only enabled with explicit enablement of page table check configs
and/or boot parameters, but should be good enough to track at least
syzbot issues, as syzbot should enable PAGE_TABLE_CHECK[_ENFORCED] for
x86 [1]. We used to have DEBUG_VM but it's now off for most distros,
while distros also normally not enable PAGE_TABLE_CHECK[_ENFORCED], which
is similar.
- It conditionally works with the ptep_modify_prot API. It will be
bypassed when e.g. XEN PV is enabled, however still work for most of the
rest scenarios, which should be the common cases so should be good
enough.
- Hugetlb check is a bit hairy, as the page table check cannot identify
hugetlb pte or normal pte via trapping at set_pte_at(), because of the
current design where hugetlb maps every layers to pte_t... For example,
the default set_huge_pte_at() can invoke set_pte_at() directly and lose
the hugetlb context, treating it the same as a normal pte_t. So far it's
fine because we have huge_pte_uffd_wp() always equals to pte_uffd_wp() as
long as supported (x86 only). It'll be a bigger problem when we'll
define _PAGE_UFFD_WP differently at various pgtable levels, because then
one huge_pte_uffd_wp() per-arch will stop making sense first.. as of now
we can leave this for later too.
This patch also removes commit c2da319c2e altogether, as we have something
better now.

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary.
If our folio has a stable node, it is a (small) KSM folio -- see
folio_stable_node(). Let's use folio_mapcount() in stable_tree_search()
instead, which results in no functional change.
The mapcount > 1 check is a bit confusing, because that's usually a check
for page sharing. Looks like the reason is that we are guaranteed to not
exceed ksm_max_page_sharing for the tree KSM folio when merging with that.
Let's update the documentation to make that clearer.

These knobs offer more fine-grained control to userspace than needed and
directly expose/influence kernel implementation; remove them.
For disabling same_filled handling, there is no logical reason to refuse
storing same-filled pages more efficiently and opt for compression.
Scanning pages for patterns may be an argument, but the page contents will
be read into the CPU cache anyway during compression. Also, removing the
same_filled handling code does not move the needle significantly in terms
of performance anyway [1].
For disabling non_same_filled handling, it was added when the compressed
pages in zswap were not being properly charged to memcgs, as workloads
could escape the accounting with compression [2]. This is no longer the
case after commit f4840ccfca ("zswap: memcg accounting"), and using
zswap without compression does not make much sense.

Currently, zswap_store() checks zswap_same_filled_pages_enabled, kmaps the
folio, then calls zswap_is_page_same_filled() to check the folio contents.
Move this logic into zswap_is_page_same_filled() as well (and rename it
to use 'folio' while we are at it).
This makes zswap_store() cleaner, and makes following changes to that
logic contained within the helper.
While we are at it:
- Rename the insert_entry label to store_entry to match xa_store().
- Add comment headers for same-filled functions and the main API
functions (load, store, invalidate, swapon, swapoff).
No functional change intended.

Patch series "zswap same-filled and limit checking cleanups", v3.
Miscellaneous cleanups for limit checking and same-filled handling in the
store path. This series was broken out of the "zswap: store zero-filled
pages more efficiently" series [1]. It contains the cleanups and drops
the main functional changes.
[1]https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240325235018.2028408-1-yosryahmed@google.com/
This patch (of 4):
The cleanup code in zswap_store() is not pretty, particularly the 'shrink'
label at the bottom that ends up jumping between cleanup labels.
Instead of having a dedicated label to shrink the pool, just use
zswap_pool_reached_full directly to figure out if the pool needs
shrinking. zswap_pool_reached_full should be true if and only if the pool
needs shrinking.
The only caveat is that the value of zswap_pool_reached_full may be
changed by concurrent zswap_store() calls between checking the limit and
testing zswap_pool_reached_full in the cleanup code. This is fine
because:
- If zswap_pool_reached_full was true during limit checking then became
false during the cleanup code, then someone else already took care of
shrinking the pool and there is no need to queue the worker. That
would be a good change.
- If zswap_pool_reached_full was false during limit checking then became
true during the cleanup code, then someone else hit the limit
meanwhile. In this case, both threads will try to queue the worker,
but it never gets queued more than once anyway. Also, calling
queue_work() multiple times when the limit is hit could already happen
today, so this isn't a significant change in any way.

Currently, compaction_capture() does not allow lower-order allocations to
directly capture the movable free pages, even though lower-order
allocations might also be requesting movable pages, that can lead to more
compaction scanning. And, with the enablement of mTHP, such situations
will become more common.
Thus allowing lower-order (mTHP) allocations of movable page types
directly capture the movable free pages can avoid unnecessary compaction
scanning, meanwhile that won't pollute the movable pageblock. With
testing 1M mTHP compaction, it can be seen that compaction scanning is
significantly reduced.

Patch series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters", v6.
The patchset introduces a framework to facilitate mTHP counters, starting
with the allocation and swap-out counters. Currently, only four new nodes
are appended to the stats directory for each mTHP size.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats
anon_fault_alloc
anon_fault_fallback
anon_fault_fallback_charge
anon_swpout
anon_swpout_fallback
These nodes are crucial for us to monitor the fragmentation levels of both
the buddy system and the swap partitions. In the future, we may consider
adding additional nodes for further insights.
This patch (of 4):
Profiling a system blindly with mTHP has become challenging due to the
lack of visibility into its operations. Presenting the success rate of
mTHP allocations appears to be pressing need.
Recently, I've been experiencing significant difficulty debugging
performance improvements and regressions without these figures. It's
crucial for us to understand the true effectiveness of mTHP in real-world
scenarios, especially in systems with fragmented memory.
This patch establishes the framework for per-order mTHP counters. It
begins by introducing the anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback
counters. Additionally, to maintain consistency with
thp_fault_fallback_charge in /proc/vmstat, this patch also tracks
anon_fault_fallback_charge when mem_cgroup_charge fails for mTHP.
Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.

In ksm stable tree all page are single, let's convert them to use and
folios as well as stable_tree_insert/stable_tree_search funcs. And
replace get_ksm_page() by ksm_get_folio() since there is no more needs.
It could save a few compound_head calls.

Patch series "transfer page to folio in KSM".
This is the first part of page to folio transfer on KSM. Since only
single page could be stored in KSM, we could safely transfer stable tree
pages to folios.
This patchset could reduce ksm.o 57kbytes from 2541776 bytes on latest
akpm/mm-stable branch with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled. It pass the KSM
testing in LTP and kernel selftest.
Thanks for Matthew Wilcox and David Hildenbrand's suggestions and
comments!
This patch (of 10):
The ksm only contains single pages, so we could add a new func
ksm_get_folio for get_ksm_page to use folio instead of pages to save a
couple of compound_head calls.
After all caller replaced, get_ksm_page will be removed.

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary.
For tracing purposes, we use page_mapcount() in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range(). Adding that mapcount to total_mapped
sounds strange: total_migrated and total_reclaimed would count each page
only once, not multiple times.
But then, isolate_migratepages_range() adds each folio only once to the
list. So for large folios, we would query the mapcount of the first page
of the folio, which doesn't make too much sense for large folios.
Let's simply use folio_mapped() * folio_nr_pages(), which makes more sense
as nr_migratepages is also incremented by the number of pages in the folio
in case of successful migration.

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary. In zap_present_folio_ptes(), let's simply check the
folio mapcount(). If there is some issue, it will underflow at some point
either way when unmapping.
As indicated already in commit 10ebac4f95 ("mm/memory: optimize
unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP"), we already documented "If we ever have a
cheap folio_mapcount(), we might just want to check for underflows
there.".
There is no change for small folios. For large folios, we'll now catch
more underflows when batch-unmapping, because instead of only testing the
mapcount of the first subpage, we'll test if the folio mapcount
underflows.

Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value. The mapcount
of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount
and all page mapcounts.
This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is
also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped().
With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want
to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of
large folios. The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no
pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for
mTHP that are always mapped by PTE.
Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and
might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel
configs. Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios
efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages.
Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity. Use the new
mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped(). Make
page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped(). We can now get rid of
folio_large_is_mapped().
_nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes.
Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be
limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes.
This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever
mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio.
As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during
unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the
large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common
case is small. Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio
(e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's
essentially one additional atomic operation.
Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount
would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference. Extend the
focumentation of folio_mapcount().

follow_pte() is now our main function to lookup PTEs in VM_PFNMAP/VM_IO
VMAs. Let's perform some more sanity checks to make this exported
function harder to abuse.
Further, extend the doc a bit, it still focuses on the KVM use case with
MMU notifiers. Drop the KVM+follow_pfn() comment, follow_pfn() is no
more, and we have other users nowadays.
Also extend the doc regarding refcounted pages and the interaction with
MMU notifiers.
KVM is one example that uses MMU notifiers and can deal with refcounted
pages properly. VFIO is one example that doesn't use MMU notifiers, and
to prevent use-after-free, rejects refcounted pages: pfn_valid(pfn) &&
!PageReserved(pfn_to_page(pfn)). Protection changes are less of a concern
for users like VFIO: the behavior is similar to longterm-pinning a page,
and getting the PTE protection changed afterwards.
The primary concern with refcounted pages is use-after-free, which callers
should be aware of.

document is added as comments.

The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as CXL1.1
type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
(E820_TYPE_RAM). However, these emulated devices have different
characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to distinguish
them. Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process to
introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes. This delay ensures
that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred until HMAT
information is obtained during the boot process. Finally, demotion tables
are recalculated at the end.
* late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
`memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers. They should be
excluded in the late init.
* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT
information. If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the
default DRAM tier.
* Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist
calculation In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist
nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`. However,
`mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
leading to a potential deadlock. Therefore, we propose introducing a
standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf_*`.
This approach not only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large
lock simultaneously.
* Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations. To cover
hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
`mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information
is available.
* Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
initialized by device drivers. Because late initialized memory and
default DRAM memory need to be managed, a default memory type is created
for storing all memory types that are not initialized by device drivers
and as a fallback.

Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11.
When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal
memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal
DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation. The
current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the
same DRAM tier. This results in normal memory devices with different
attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier,
leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of
memory.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/PH0PR08MB7955E9F08CCB64F23963B5C3A860A@PH0PR08MB7955.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/T/
This patchset automatically resolves the issues. It delays the
initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain
HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time,
eliminating the need for user intervention. If no HMAT is specified, it
falls back to using `default_dram_type`.
Example usecase:
We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory
device backed by host CXL memory. We inject CXL memory performance
attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with
performance attributes in HMAT. With this change, we enable the guest
kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes.
This patch (of 2):
Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting
memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing
the scalability and conciseness of the code.

vm_map_ram() uses IS_ERR() to validate the return value of vb_alloc(). If
vm_map_ram(page, 0, 0) is executed, vb_alloc(0, GFP_KERNEL) would return
NULL. In such a case, IS_ERR() cannot handle the return value and lead to
kernel panic by vmap_pages_range_noflush() at last. To resolve this
issue, return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) if the size is 0.

If the same size kmalloc cache already exists, it should not be created
again. So there is the check for NULL kmalloc_caches before calling the
kmalloc creation function. However, new_kmalloc_cache() itself checks NULL
kmalloc_cahces before cache creation. Therefore, the NULL check is not
necessary in this function.
