Despite a comment that said that page fault accounting would be charged to
whatever task_struct* was passed into __access_remote_vm(), the tsk
argument was actually unused.
Making page fault accounting actually use this task struct is quite a
project, so there is no point in keeping the tsk argument.
Delete both the comment, and the argument.

For many workloads, pagetable consumption is significant and it makes
sense to expose it in the memory.stat for the memory cgroups. However at
the moment, the pagetables are accounted per-zone. Converting them to
per-node and using the right interface will correctly account for the
memory cgroups as well.

Patch series "memcg: add pagetable comsumption to memory.stat", v2.
Many workloads consumes significant amount of memory in pagetables. One
specific use-case is the user space network driver which mmaps the
application memory to provide zero copy transfer. This driver can consume
a large amount memory in page tables. This patch series exposes the
pagetable comsumption for each memory cgroup.
This patch (of 2):
This does not change any functionality and only move the functions which
update the lruvec stats to vmstat.h from memcontrol.h. The main reason
for this patch is to be able to use these functions in the page table
contructor function which is defined in mm.h and we can not include the
memcontrol.h in that file. Also this is a better place for this interface
in general. The lruvec abstraction, while invented for memcg, isn't
specific to memcg at all.

Patch series "mm: memcg: deprecate cgroup v1 non-hierarchical mode", v1.
The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days
of the memory controller and doesn't bring any value today.
However, it complicates the code and creates many edge cases
all over the memory controller code.
It's a good time to deprecate it completely. This patchset removes
the internal logic, adjusts the user interface and updates
the documentation. The alt patch removes some bits of the cgroup
core code, which become obsolete.
Michal Hocko said:
"All that we know today is that we have a warning in place to complain
loudly when somebody relies on use_hierarchy=0 with a deeper
hierarchy. For all those years we have seen _zero_ reports that would
describe a sensible usecase.
Moreover we (SUSE) have backported this warning into old distribution
kernels (since 3.0 based kernels) to extend the coverage and didn't
hear even for users who adopt new kernels only very slowly. The only
report we have seen so far was a LTP test suite which doesn't really
reflect any real life usecase"
This patch (of 3):
The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days of the
memory controller and doesn't bring any value today. However, it
complicates the code and creates many edge cases all over the memory
controller code.
It's a good time to deprecate it completely.
Functionally this patch enabled is by default for all cgroups and forbids
switching it off. Nothing changes if cgroup v2 is used: hierarchical mode
was enforced from scratch.
To protect the ABI memory.use_hierarchy interface is preserved with a
limited functionality: reading always returns "1", writing of "1" passes
silently, writing of any other value fails with -EINVAL and a warning to
dmesg (on the first occasion).

Since commit 369ea8242c ("mm/rmap: update to new mmu_notifier semantic
v2"), the code to check the secondary MMU's page table access bit is
broken for !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) because the page is unmapped from the
secondary MMU's page table before the check. More specifically for those
secondary MMUs which unmap the memory in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() like kvm.
However memory reclaim is the only user of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) or the
absence of TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS and it explicitly performs the page table
access check before trying to unmap the page. So, at worst the reclaim
will miss accesses in a very short window if we remove page table access
check in unmapping code.
There is an unintented consequence of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) for the memcg
reclaim. From memcg reclaim the page_referenced() only account the
accesses from the processes which are in the same memcg of the target page
but the unmapping code is considering accesses from all the processes, so,
decreasing the effectiveness of memcg reclaim.
The simplest solution is to always assume TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS in unmapping
code.

through to the code that could return the zone device page to the page

Clearly these type of pages are not having the reference count decremented

Just to be safe, handle the 1 to zero case in release_pages() like

Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by
post-processing the VMA list.
These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before
processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is
encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM.
Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many
call sites.
Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged
when DAX is compiled out.
Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already
makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and
memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.

Since commit 70e806e4e6 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork. This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.
However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:
CPU 0 CPU 1
get_user_pages_fast()
internal_get_user_pages_fast()
copy_page_range()
pte_alloc_map_lock()
copy_present_page()
atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
gup_pgd_range()
gup_pte_range()
pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
pte_access_permitted(pte)
try_grab_compound_head()
pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
set_pte_at();
pte_unmap_unlock()
// GUP now returns with a write protected page
The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")
Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range(). If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.
Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

Patch series "Add a seqcount between gup_fast and copy_page_range()", v4.
As discussed and suggested by Linus use a seqcount to close the small race
between gup_fast and copy_page_range().
Ahmed confirms that raw_write_seqcount_begin() is the correct API to use
in this case and it doesn't trigger any lockdeps.
I was able to test it using two threads, one forking and the other using
ibv_reg_mr() to trigger GUP fast. Modifying copy_page_range() to sleep
made the window large enough to reliably hit to test the logic.
This patch (of 2):
The next patch in this series makes the lockless flow a little more
complex, so move the entire block into a new function and remove a level
of indention. Tidy a bit of cruft:
- addr is always the same as start, so use start
- Use the modern check_add_overflow() for computing end = start + len
- nr_pinned/pages << PAGE_SHIFT needs the LHS to be unsigned long to
avoid shift overflow, make the variables unsigned long to avoid coding
casts in both places. nr_pinned was missing its cast
- The handling of ret and nr_pinned can be streamlined a bit
No functional change.

For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c (previously,
gup_benchmark.c) whenever I wanted to try out my changes to dump_page().
This makes that hack unnecessary, and instead allows anyone to easily get
the same coverage from a user space program. That saves a lot of time
because you don't have to change the kernel, in order to test different
pages and options.
The new sub-test takes advantage of the existing gup_test infrastructure,
which already provides a simple user space program, some allocated user
space pages, an ioctl call, pinning of those pages (via either
get_user_pages or pin_user_pages) and a corresponding kernel-side test
invocation. There's not much more required, mainly just a couple of
inputs from the user.
In fact, the new test re-uses the existing command line options in order
to get various helpful combinations (THP or normal, _fast or slow gup, gup
vs. pup, and more).
New command line options are: which pages to dump, and what type of
"get/pin" to use.
In order to figure out which pages to dump, the logic is:
* If the user doesn't specify anything, the page 0 (the first page in
the address range that the program sets up for testing) is dumped.
* Or, the user can type up to 8 page indices anywhere on the command
line. If you type more than 8, then it uses the first 8 and ignores the
remaining items.
For example:
./gup_test -ct -F 1 0 19 0x1000
Meaning:
-c: dump pages sub-test
-t: use THP pages
-F 1: use pin_user_pages() instead of get_user_pages()
0 19 0x1000: dump pages 0, 19, and 4096

Therefore, some minor cleanup and improvements are in order:
1. Rename the other items appropriately.
2. Stop reporting timing information on the non-benchmark items. It's
still being recorded and is available, but there's no point in
cluttering up the report with data that no one reasonably needs to
check.
3. Don't do iterations, for non-benchmark items.
4. Print out a shorter, more appropriate report for the non-benchmark
tests.
5. Add the command that was run, to the report. This really helps, as
there are quite a lot of options now.
6. Use a larger integer type for cmd, now that it's being compared
Otherwise it doesn't work, because in this case cmd is about 3 billion,
which is the perfect size for problems with signed vs unsigned int.

Avoid the need to copy-paste the gup_test ioctl commands and the struct
gup_test definition, between the kernel and the user space application, by
providing a new header file for these. This allows easier and safer
adding of new ioctl calls, as well as reducing the overall line count.
Details: The header file has to be able to compile independently, because
of the arguably unfortunate way that the Makefile is written: the Makefile
tries to build all of its prerequisites, when really it should be only
building the .c files, and leaving the other prerequisites (LOCAL_HDRS) as
pure dependencies.
That Makefile limitation is probably not worth fixing, but it explains why
one of the includes had to be moved into the new header file.
Also: simplify the ioctl struct (struct gup_test), by deleting the unused
__expansion[10] field. This sort of thing is what you might see in a
stable ABI, but this low-level, kernel-developer-oriented selftests/vm
system is very much not subject to ABI stability. So "expansion" and
"reserved" fields are unnecessary here.

Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3.
Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller
supporting goodies. The two main points are:
1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version
of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(),
at least on user-space pages.
For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I
wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me
what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I
realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of
that.
Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit
description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the
dump_pages() sub-test").
2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful,
but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that
libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the
works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes
just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.
Further details in the commit description of patch #8
("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency").
Other smaller things that this series does:
a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.
b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within
run_vmtests.sh.
c) Other minor assorted improvements.

This patch (of 9):
Rename nearly every "gup_benchmark" reference and file name to "gup_test".
The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself.
The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and
definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast(). More importantly,
however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is
non-benchmark related.
Closely related changes:
* Kconfig: in addition to renaming the options from GUP_BENCHMARK to
GUP_TEST, update the help text to reflect that it's no longer a
benchmark-only test.

Convert generic_file_buffered_read() to get pages to read from in batches,
and then copy data to userspace from many pages at once - in particular,
we now don't touch any cachelines that might be contended while we're in
the loop to copy data to userspace.
This is is a performance improvement on workloads that do buffered reads
with large blocksizes, and a very large performance improvement if that
file is also being accessed concurrently by different threads.
On smaller reads (512 bytes), there's a very small performance improvement
(1%, within the margin of error).

Patch series "generic_file_buffered_read() improvements", v2.
generic_file_buffered_read() has turned into a real monstrosity to work
with. And it's a major performance improvement, for both small random and
large sequential reads. On my test box, 4k buffered random reads go from
~150k to ~250k iops, and the improvements to big sequential reads are even
bigger.
This incorporates the fix for IOCB_WAITQ handling that Jens just posted as
well, also factors out lock_page_for_iocb() to improve handling of the
various iocb flags.
This patch (of 2):
This is prep work for changing generic_file_buffered_read() to use
find_get_pages_contig() to batch up all the pagecache lookups.
This patch should be functionally identical to the existing code and
changes as little as of the flow control as possible. More refactoring
could be done, this patch is intended to be relatively minimal.

Record the pid for each allocation recorded in page owner so that the

The above is very useful when doing memory analysis. On a crash for
example, we can get this information from kdump (or ramdump) and parse it
to figure out memory allocation problems.
Please note that on x86_64 this increases the size of struct page_owner

Vlastimil: it's not a functionality intended for production, so unless
somebody says they need to enable page_owner for debugging and this
increase prevents them from fitting into available memory, let's not
complicate things with making this optional.

Page owner of pages used by page owner itself used is missing on arm32
targets. The reason is dummy_handle and failure_handle is not initialized
correctly. Buddy allocator is used to initialize these two handles.
However, buddy allocator is not ready when page owner calls it. This
change fixed that by initializing page owner after buddy initialization.
The working flow before and after this change are:
original logic:
1. allocated memory for page_ext(using memblock).
2. invoke the init callback of page_ext_ops like page_owner(using buddy
allocator).
3. initialize buddy.
after this change:
1. allocated memory for page_ext(using memblock).
2. initialize buddy.
3. invoke the init callback of page_ext_ops like page_owner(using buddy
allocator).
with the change, failure/dummy_handle can get its correct value and page
owner output for example has the one for page owner itself:
Page allocated via order 2, mask 0x6202c0(GFP_USER|__GFP_NOWARN), pid 1006, ts 67278156558 ns
PFN 543776 type Unmovable Block 531 type Unmovable Flags 0x0()

The page order of the slab that gets chosen for a given slab cache depends
on the number of objects that can be fit in the slab while meeting other
requirements. We start with a value of minimum objects based on
nr_cpu_ids that is driven by possible number of CPUs and hence could be
higher than the actual number of CPUs present in the system. This leads
to calculate_order() chosing a page order that is on the higher side
leading to increased slab memory consumption on systems that have bigger
page sizes.
Hence rely on the number of online CPUs when determining the mininum
objects, thereby increasing the chances of chosing a lower conservative
page order for the slab.
Vlastimil said:
"Ideally, we would react to hotplug events and update existing caches
accordingly. But for that, recalculation of order for existing caches
would have to be made safe, while not affecting hot paths. We have
removed the sysfs interface with 32a6f409b6 ("mm, slub: remove
runtime allocation order changes") as it didn't seem easy and worth
the trouble.
In case somebody wants to start with a large order right from the
boot because they know they will hotplug lots of cpus later, they can
use slub_min_objects= boot param to override this heuristic. So in
case this change regresses somebody's performance, there's a way
around it and thus the risk is low IMHO"

The page allocator expects that page->mapping is NULL for a page being
freed. SLAB and SLUB use the slab_cache field which is in union with
mapping, but before freeing the page, the field is referenced with the
"mapping" name when set to NULL.
It's IMHO more correct (albeit functionally the same) to use the
slab_cache name as that's the field we use in SL*B, and document why we
clear it in a comment (we don't clear fields such as s_mem or freelist, as
page allocator doesn't care about those). While using the 'mapping' name
would automagically keep the code correct if the unions in struct page
changed, such changes should be done consciously and needed changes
evaluated - the comment should help with that.

Pull kmap updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:
- Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.
- Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
when scheduling back in.
- Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
interface available which does not disable preemption when a
mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
across preemption.
- Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
architecture allows it.
- Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
work around these side effects.
The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"
