There are two functions to flush the per-cpu data of an lruvec into the
rest of the cgroup tree: when the cgroup is being freed, and when a CPU
disappears during hotplug. The difference is whether all CPUs or just
one is being collected, but the rest of the flushing code is the same.
Merge them into one function and share the common code.

Replace the memory controller's custom hierarchical stats code with the
generic rstat infrastructure provided by the cgroup core.
The current implementation does batched upward propagation from the
write side (i.e. as stats change). The per-cpu batches introduce an
error, which is multiplied by the number of subgroups in a tree. In
systems with many CPUs and sizable cgroup trees, the error can be large
enough to confuse users (e.g. 32 batch pages * 32 CPUs * 32 subgroups
results in an error of up to 128M per stat item). This can entirely
swallow allocation bursts inside a workload that the user is expecting
to see reflected in the statistics.
In the past, we've done read-side aggregation, where a memory.stat read
would have to walk the entire subtree and add up per-cpu counts. This
became problematic with lazily-freed cgroups: we could have large
subtrees where most cgroups were entirely idle. Hence the switch to
change-driven upward propagation. Unfortunately, it needed to trade
accuracy for speed due to the write side being so hot.
Rstat combines the best of both worlds: from the write side, it cheaply
maintains a queue of cgroups that have pending changes, so that the read
side can do selective tree aggregation. This way the reported stats
will always be precise and recent as can be, while the aggregation can
skip over potentially large numbers of idle cgroups.
The way rstat works is that it implements a tree for tracking cgroups
with pending local changes, as well as a flush function that walks the
tree upwards. The controller then drives this by 1) telling rstat when
a local cgroup stat changes (e.g. mod_memcg_state) and 2) when a flush
is required to get uptodate hierarchy stats for a given subtree (e.g.
when memory.stat is read). The controller also provides a flush
callback that is called during the rstat flush walk for each cgroup and
aggregates its local per-cpu counters and propagates them upwards.
This adds a second vmstats to struct mem_cgroup (MEMCG_NR_STAT +
NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS) to track pending subtree deltas during upward
aggregation. It removes 3 words from the per-cpu data. It eliminates
memcg_exact_page_state(), since memcg_page_state() is now exact.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat", v3.
This series converts memcg stats tracking to the streamlined rstat
infrastructure provided by the cgroup core code. rstat is already used by
the CPU controller and the IO controller. This change is motivated by
recent accuracy problems in memcg's custom stats code, as well as the
benefits of sharing common infra with other controllers.
The current memcg implementation does batched tree aggregation on the
write side: local stat changes are cached in per-cpu counters, which are
then propagated upward in batches when a threshold (32 pages) is exceeded.
This is cheap, but the error introduced by the lazy upward propagation
adds up: 32 pages times CPUs times cgroups in the subtree. We've had
complaints from service owners that the stats do not reliably track and
react to allocation behavior as expected, sometimes swallowing the results
of entire test applications.
The original memcg stat implementation used to do tree aggregation
exclusively on the read side: local stats would only ever be tracked in
per-cpu counters, and a memory.stat read would iterate the entire subtree
and sum those counters up. This didn't keep up with the times:
- Cgroup trees are much bigger now. We switched to lazily-freed
cgroups, where deleted groups would hang around until their remaining
page cache has been reclaimed. This can result in large subtrees that
are expensive to walk, while most of the groups are idle and their
statistics don't change much anymore.
- Automated monitoring increased. With the proliferation of userspace
oom killing, proactive reclaim, and higher-resolution logging of
workload trends in general, top-level stat files are polled at least
once a second in many deployments.
- The lifetime of cgroups got shorter. Where most cgroup setups in the
past would have a few large policy-oriented cgroups for everything
running on the system, newer cgroup deployments tend to create one
group per application - which gets deleted again as the processes
exit. An aggregation scheme that doesn't retain child data inside the
parents loses event history of the subtree.
Rstat addresses all three of those concerns through intelligent,
persistent read-side aggregation. As statistics change at the local
level, rstat tracks - on a per-cpu basis - only those parts of a subtree
that have changes pending and require aggregation. The actual
aggregation occurs on the colder read side - which can now skip over
(potentially large) numbers of recently idle cgroups.
===
The test_kmem cgroup selftest is currently failing due to excessive
cumulative vmstat drift from 100 subgroups:
ok 1 test_kmem_basic
memory.current = 8810496
slab + anon + file + kernel_stack = 17074568
slab = 6101384
anon = 946176
file = 0
kernel_stack = 10027008
not ok 2 test_kmem_memcg_deletion
ok 3 test_kmem_proc_kpagecgroup
ok 4 test_kmem_kernel_stacks
ok 5 test_kmem_dead_cgroups
ok 6 test_percpu_basic
As you can see, memory.stat items far exceed memory.current. The kernel
stack alone is bigger than all of charged memory. That's because the
memory of the test has been uncharged from memory.current, but the
negative vmstat deltas are still sitting in the percpu caches.
The test at this time isn't even counting percpu, pagetables etc. yet,
which would further contribute to the error. The last patch in the series
updates the test to include them - as well as reduces the vmstat
tolerances in general to only expect page_counter batching.
With all patches applied, the (now more stringent) test succeeds:
ok 1 test_kmem_basic
ok 2 test_kmem_memcg_deletion
ok 3 test_kmem_proc_kpagecgroup
ok 4 test_kmem_kernel_stacks
ok 5 test_kmem_dead_cgroups
ok 6 test_percpu_basic

A kernel build test confirms that overhead is comparable. Two kernels are
built simultaneously in a nested tree with several idle siblings:
root - kernelbuild - one - two - three - four - build-a (defconfig, make -j16)
`- build-b (defconfig, make -j16)
`- idle-1
`- ...
`- idle-9
During the builds, kernelbuild/memory.stat is read once a second.
A perf diff shows that the changes in cycle distribution is
minimal. Top 10 kernel symbols:

This patch (of 8):
The memcg hotunplug callback erroneously flushes counts on the local CPU,
not the counts of the CPU going away; those counts will be lost.
Flush the CPU that is actually going away.
Also simplify the code a bit by using mod_memcg_state() and
count_memcg_events() instead of open-coding the upward flush - this is
comparable to how vmstat.c handles hotunplug flushing.

In the era of async memcg oom-killer, the commit a0d8b00a33 ("mm: memcg:
do not declare OOM from __GFP_NOFAIL allocations") added the code to skip
memcg oom-killer for __GFP_NOFAIL allocations. The reason was that the
__GFP_NOFAIL callers will not enter aync oom synchronization path and will
keep the task marked as in memcg oom. At that time the tasks marked in
memcg oom can bypass the memcg limits and the oom synchronization would
have happened later in the later userspace triggered page fault. Thus
letting the task marked as under memcg oom bypass the memcg limit for
arbitrary time.
With the synchronous memcg oom-killer (commit 29ef680ae7 ("memcg, oom:
move out_of_memory back to the charge path")) and not letting the task
marked under memcg oom to bypass the memcg limits (commit 1f14c1ac19
("mm: memcg: do not allow task about to OOM kill to bypass the limit")),
we can again allow __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to trigger memcg oom-kill.
This will make memcg oom behavior closer to page allocator oom behavior.

Rather than decrementing the head page refcount one by one, we walk the
page array and checking which belong to the same compound_head. Later on
we decrement the calculated amount of references in a single write to the
head page. To that end switch to for_each_compound_head() does most of
the work.
set_page_dirty() needs no adjustment as it's a nop for non-dirty head
pages and it doesn't operate on tail pages.

Patch series "mm/gup: page unpining improvements", v4.
This series improves page unpinning, with an eye on improving MR
deregistration for big swaths of memory (which is bound by the page
unpining), particularly:
1) Decrement the head page by @ntails and thus reducing a lot the
number of atomic operations per compound page. This is done by
comparing individual tail pages heads, and counting number of
consecutive tails on which they match heads and based on that update
head page refcount. Should have a visible improvement in all page
(un)pinners which use compound pages
2) Introducing a new API for unpinning page ranges (to avoid the trick
in the previous item and be based on math), and use that in RDMA
ib_mem_release (used for mr deregistration).
Performance improvements: unpin_user_pages() for hugetlbfs and THP
improves ~3x (through gup_test) and RDMA MR dereg improves ~4.5x with the
new API. See patches 2 and 4 for those.
This patch (of 4):
Add a helper that iterates over head pages in a list of pages. It
essentially counts the tails until the next page to process has a
different head that the current. This is going to be used by
unpin_user_pages() family of functions, to batch the head page refcount
updates once for all passed consecutive tail pages.

Patch series "Improve IOCB_NOWAIT O_DIRECT reads", v3.
An internal workload complained because it was using too much CPU, and
when I took a look, we had a lot of io_uring workers going to town.
For an async buffered read like workload, I am normally expecting _zero_
offloads to a worker thread, but this one had tons of them. I'd drop
caches and things would look good again, but then a minute later we'd
regress back to using workers. Turns out that every minute something
was reading parts of the device, which would add page cache for that
inode. I put patches like these in for our kernel, and the problem was
solved.
Don't -EAGAIN IOCB_NOWAIT dio reads just because we have page cache
entries for the given range. This causes unnecessary work from the
callers side, when the IO could have been issued totally fine without
blocking on writeback when there is none.
This patch (of 3):
For O_DIRECT reads/writes, we check if we need to issue a call to
filemap_write_and_wait_range() to issue and/or wait for writeback for any
page in the given range. The existing mechanism just checks for a page in
the range, which is suboptimal for IOCB_NOWAIT as we'll fallback to the
slow path (and needing retry) if there's just a clean page cache page in
the range.
Provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() which tries a little harder to
check if we actually need to issue and/or wait for writeback in the range.

When page_poison detects page corruption it's useful to see who freed a
page recently to have a guess where write-after-free corruption happens.
After this change corruption report has extra page data.
Example report from real corruption (includes only page_pwner part):

Before the change page_owner recursion was detected via fetching
backtrace and inspecting it for current instruction pointer.
It has a few problems:
- it is slightly slow as it requires extra backtrace and a linear stack
scan of the result
- it is too late to check if backtrace fetching required memory
allocation itself (ia64's unwinder requires it).
To simplify recursion tracking let's use page_owner recursion flag in
'struct task_struct'.
The change make page_owner=on work on ia64 by avoiding infinite
recursion in:
kmalloc()
-> __set_page_owner()
-> save_stack()
-> unwind() [ia64-specific]
-> build_script()
-> kmalloc()
-> __set_page_owner() [we short-circuit here]
-> save_stack()
-> unwind() [recursion]

Collect the time when each allocation is freed, to help with memory
analysis with kdump/ramdump. Add the timestamp also in the page_owner
debugfs file and print it in dump_page().
Having another timestamp when we free the page helps for debugging page
migration issues. For example both alloc and free timestamps being the
same can gave hints that there is an issue with migrating memory, as
opposed to a page just being dropped during migration.

Commit ca0cab65ea ("mm, slub: introduce static key for slub_debug()")
introduced a static key to optimize the case where no debugging is
enabled for any cache. The static key is enabled when slub_debug boot
parameter is passed, or CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled.
However, some caches might be created with one or more debugging flags
explicitly passed to kmem_cache_create(), and the commit missed this.
Thus the debugging functionality would not be actually performed for
these caches unless the static key gets enabled by boot param or config.
This patch fixes it by checking for debugging flags passed to
kmem_cache_create() and enabling the static key accordingly.
Note such explicit debugging flags should not be used outside of
debugging and testing as they will now enable the static key globally.
btrfs_init_cachep() creates a cache with SLAB_RED_ZONE but that's a
mistake that's being corrected [1]. rcu_torture_stats() creates a cache
with SLAB_STORE_USER, but that is a testing module so it's OK and will
start working as intended after this patch.
Also note that in case of backports to kernels before v5.12 that don't
have 59450bbc12 ("mm, slab, slub: stop taking cpu hotplug lock"),
static_branch_enable_cpuslocked() should be used.

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
two parts:
(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.
This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
(whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
the helper takes care of the rest.
(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.
Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.
This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
old API.
This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
way invalidation is done at this time.
In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
to follow.
This patchset contains the following parts:
- Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.
- Patches to add the netfs helper library.
- A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.
- A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.
Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
that I will post a separate pull request for.
With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
passes the expected tests.
I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in

Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make
stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack layout.
The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature, but
uses a significantly different implementation.
The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as this
was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied before the
actual syscall is invoked.
The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end of
the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry.
The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the
dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that stack-clash-protection
has to be disabled for the affected compilation units and there is also
a negative interaction with stack-protector.
Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does not
require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry code, does
not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is handled
automatically by the compiler.
The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead when
disabled.
Currently this is supported for X86 and ARM64.

No problem on 64-bit, or without huge pages, but xfstests generic/285
and other SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA tests have regressed on huge tmpfs, and on
32-bit architectures, with the new mapping_seek_hole_data(). Several
different bugs turned out to need fixing.
u64 cast to stop losing bits when converting unsigned long to loff_t
(and let's use shifts throughout, rather than mixed with * and /).
Use round_up() when advancing pos, to stop assuming that pos was already
THP-aligned when advancing it by THP-size. (This use of round_up()
assumes that any THP has THP-aligned index: true at present and true
going forward, but could be recoded to avoid the assumption.)
Use xas_set() when iterating away from a THP, so that xa_index stays in
synch with start, instead of drifting away to return bogus offset.
Check start against end to avoid wrapping 32-bit xa_index to 0 (and to
handle these additional cases, seek_data or not, it's easier to break
the loop than goto: so rearrange exit from the function).

No problem on 64-bit, or without huge pages, but xfstests generic/308
hung uninterruptibly on 32-bit huge tmpfs.
Since commit 0cc3b0ec23 ("Clarify (and fix) in 4.13 MAX_LFS_FILESIZE

xa_index to 0, so the new find_lock_entries() has to be extra careful
when handling a THP.

Since kernel v5.1, fanotify_init(2) supports the flag FAN_REPORT_FID
for identifying objects using file handle and fsid in events.
fanotify_mark(2) fails with -ENODEV when trying to set a mark on
filesystems that report null f_fsid in stasfs(2).
Use the digest of uuid as f_fsid for tmpfs to uniquely identify tmpfs
objects as best as possible and allow setting an fanotify mark that
reports events with file handles on tmpfs.

Mapping dirty helpers have, so far, been only used on X86, but a port of
vmwgfx to ARM64 exposed a problem which results in a compilation error
on ARM64 systems:
mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c: In function `wp_clean_pud_entry':
mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c:172:32: error: implicit declaration of function `pud_dirty'; did you mean `pmd_dirty'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
This is due to the fact that mapping_dirty_helpers code assumes that
pud_dirty is always defined, which is not the case for architectures
that don't define CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
ARM64 arch is a little inconsistent when it comes to PUD hugepage
helpers, e.g. it defines pud_young but not pud_dirty but regardless of
that the core kernel code shouldn't assume that any of the PUD hugepage
helpers are available unless CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
is defined. This prevents compilation errors whenever one of the
drivers is ported to new architectures.
