The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this
comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated.
For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not
ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are
allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be
placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they
are not faulted in by the mlock call.
This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags
argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives
the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way,
or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to
mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall().
There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the
security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written
to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is
significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is
guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every
time such a buffer is created.
The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file
are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed.
This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the
graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be
used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay
resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number
of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking
the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as
the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them
without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large
overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region
with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to
mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a
time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to
mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect
pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in
this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is
precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing.
For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if
mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is
created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the
user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep
the accounting checks out of the page fault path.
To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a
5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to
random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for
each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and
execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the
entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights
the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across
the 20 runs in milliseconds.
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range:
Setup avg: 8228.666
Processing avg: 8274.257
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access:
Setup avg: 0.113
Processing avg: 90993.552
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page:
With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt
to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get:
Setup avg: 0.058
Processing avg: 69488.073
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages:
Setup avg: 0.068
Processing avg: 38204.116
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages:
Setup avg: 0.044
Processing avg: 29671.180
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range:
Setup avg: 0.189
Processing avg: 17904.899
The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to
avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first
step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be
possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and
mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way
to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered
by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find
it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step
fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far
beyond the end of the mapping.
These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the
mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once,
otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster.
The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I
have tested (stream and kernbench). The following are the average values
across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose
results were discarded.

This patch (of 6):
Extending the mlock system call is very difficult because it currently
does not take a flags argument. A later patch in this set will extend
mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted
in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system
call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry
point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.

It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
because:
a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
This information helps to understand bugs.
Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel
with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
which is not very handy.
Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
reason to not do this.

Each access with address lower than
kasan_shadow_to_mem(KASAN_SHADOW_START) is reported as user-memory-access.
This is not always true, the accessed address might not be in user space.
Fix this by reporting such accesses as null-ptr-derefs or
wild-memory-accesses.
There's another reason for this change. For userspace ASan we have a
bunch of systems that analyze error types for the purpose of
classification and deduplication. Sooner of later we will write them to
KASAN as well. Then clearly and explicitly stated error types will bring

LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2fb6 ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc
blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo
benchmark.
creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC
on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr()
tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0".
I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to
add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are
allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree. At first I thought
that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not
skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were
COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none.
This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and
running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the
lesser speedup.
And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on
stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3
commit 44a30220bc ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to
take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.

Commit 424cdc1413 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a
regression introduced by 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page
counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units
rather than bytes when interpreting the user input.
The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings
during stable backport review. The page count is converted to bytes but
unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not
sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds. The same applies
to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow.
Let's remove this bytes vs. pages internal tracking differences and
handle thresholds in page units internally. Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to
return the value in page units and revert 424cdc1413 because this should
be sufficient for the consistent handling. mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the
only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is
converted to give the proper in bytes result. It is doing that already
for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well.
The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

My recent patch "mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available" added some
bloat to hugetlb.o. This patch aims to get some of the bloat back,
especially when NUMA is not in play.
It does this with an implicit #ifdef and marking some things static that
should have been static in my first patch. It also makes the warnings
only VM_WARN_ON()s. They were responsible for a pretty big chunk of the
bloat.
Doing this gets our NUMA=n text size back to a wee bit _below_ where we
started before the original patch.
It also shaves a bit of space off the NUMA=y case, but not much.
Enforcing the mempolicy definitely takes some text and it's hard to avoid.

I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages
with 'nr_hugepages'. They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let
the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time.
This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and
the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they
specified.
The code in question is this:
> struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
...
> page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg);
> if (!page) {
> page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE);
dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy.
But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool. If the
pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously
can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the
VMA.
Almost everybody preallocates huge pages. That's probably why nobody has
ever noticed this. Looking back at the git history, I don't think this
_ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in
7893d1d5, 8 years ago.
The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call
in to the buddy allocator. It's fairly straightforward plumbing. This
has been lightly tested.

As far as I can tell, strncpy_from_unsafe never returns -EFAULT. ret is
the result of a __copy_from_user_inatomic(), which is 0 for success and
positive (in this case necessarily 1) for access error - it is never
negative. So we were always returning the length of the, possibly
truncated, destination string.

clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties
since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty()
which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too.
No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into
what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually
achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag,
and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another.
It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and
incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of
the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which
radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway).
Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while
interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even
bother if the zone is the same. Do the PageDirty movement there under
tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible:
bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an
un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just
not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional
reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe).
But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for
those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping().

We have had trouble in the past from the way in which page migration's
newpage is initialized in dribs and drabs - see commit 8bdd638091 ("mm:
fix direct reclaim writeback regression") which proposed a cleanup.
We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer
(and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that
newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used -
except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move().
So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into
migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths. Similarly
migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be
deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping.
Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly.

Hitherto page migration has avoided using a migration entry for a
swapcache page mapped into userspace, apparently for historical reasons.
So any page blessed with swapcache would entail a minor fault when it's
next touched, which page migration otherwise tries to avoid. Swapcache in
an mlocked area is rare, so won't often matter, but still better fixed.
Just rearrange the block in try_to_unmap_one(), to handle TTU_MIGRATION
before checking PageAnon, that's all (apart from some reindenting).
Well, no, that's not quite all: doesn't this by the way fix a soft_dirty
bug, that page migration of a file page was forgetting to transfer the
soft_dirty bit? Probably not a serious bug: if I understand correctly,
soft_dirty afficionados usually have to handle file pages separately
anyway; but we publish the bit in /proc/<pid>/pagemap on file mappings as
well as anonymous, so page migration ought not to perturb it.

__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma()
and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow.
Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in
the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one.
Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials.
I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any
differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma
confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique,
which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration
entries. Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of
migration entry ptes like everything else? So lose that comment now, and
enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.

Clean up page migration a little more by calling remove_migration_ptes()
from the same level, on success or on failure, from __unmap_and_move() or
from unmap_and_move_huge_page().
Don't reset page->mapping of a PageAnon old page in move_to_new_page(),
leave that to when the page is freed. Except for here in page migration,
it has been an invariant that a PageAnon (bit set in page->mapping) page
stays PageAnon until it is freed, and I think we're safer to keep to that.
And with the above rearrangement, it's necessary because zap_pte_range()
wants to identify whether a migration entry represents a file or an anon
page, to update the appropriate rss stats without waiting on it.

Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from
move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been
locked. Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate()
accordingly.
But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of
newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so.
Cutting out BUG()s is good, right? But, to be honest, this is really to
extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool
of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.
Use an "else" instead of that "skip_unmap" label.

I don't know of any problem from the way it's used in our current tree,
but there is one defect in page migration's custom put_new_page feature.
An unused newpage is expected to be released with the put_new_page(), but
there was one MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS (0) path which released it with
putback_lru_page(): which can be very wrong for a custom pool.
Fixed more easily by resetting put_new_page once it won't be needed, than
by adding a further flag to modify the rc test.

Commit e6c509f854 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()")
in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration
unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears
PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with
nothing to do. Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the
page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the
new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked.
I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily
fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma
is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one().
Delete mlock_migrate_page()? Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test,
clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an
improvement? mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it
leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.

KernelThreadSanitizer (ktsan) has shown that the down_read_trylock() of
mmap_sem in try_to_unmap_one() (when going to set PageMlocked on a page
found mapped in a VM_LOCKED vma) is ineffective against races with
exit_mmap()'s munlock_vma_pages_all(), because mmap_sem is not held when
tearing down an mm.
But that's okay, those races are benign; and although we've believed for
years in that ugly down_read_trylock(), it's unsuitable for the job, and
frustrates the good intention of setting PageMlocked when it fails.
It just doesn't matter if here we read vm_flags an instant before or after
a racing mlock() or munlock() or exit_mmap() sets or clears VM_LOCKED: the
syscalls (or exit) work their way up the address space (taking pt locks
after updating vm_flags) to establish the final state.
We do still need to be careful never to mark a page Mlocked (hence
unevictable) by any race that will not be corrected shortly after. The
page lock protects from many of the races, but not all (a page is not
necessarily locked when it's unmapped). But the pte lock we just dropped
is good to cover the rest (and serializes even with
munlock_vma_pages_all(), so no special barriers required): now hold on to
the pte lock while calling mlock_vma_page(). Is that lock ordering safe?
Yes, that's how follow_page_pte() calls it, and how page_remove_rmap()
calls the complementary clear_page_mlock().
This fixes the following case (though not a case which anyone has
complained of), which mmap_sem did not: truncation's preliminary
unmap_mapping_range() is supposed to remove even the anonymous COWs of
filecache pages, and that might race with try_to_unmap_one() on a
VM_LOCKED vma, so that mlock_vma_page() sets PageMlocked just after
zap_pte_range() unmaps the page, causing "Bad page state (mlocked)" when
freed. The pte lock protects against this.
You could say that it also protects against the more ordinary case, racing
with the preliminary unmapping of a filecache page itself: but in our
current tree, that's independently protected by i_mmap_rwsem; and that
race would be why "Bad page state (mlocked)" was seen before commit
48ec833b78 ("Revert mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem").
Vlastimil Babka points out another race which this patch protects against.
try_to_unmap_one() might reach its mlock_vma_page() TestSetPageMlocked a
moment after munlock_vma_pages_all() did its Phase 1 TestClearPageMlocked:
leaving PageMlocked and unevictable when it should be evictable. mmap_sem
is ineffective because exit_mmap() does not hold it; page lock ineffective
because __munlock_pagevec() only takes it afterwards, in Phase 2; pte lock
is effective because __munlock_pagevec_fill() takes it to get the page,
after VM_LOCKED was cleared from vm_flags, so visible to try_to_unmap_one.
Kirill Shutemov points out that if the compiler chooses to implement a
"vma->vm_flags &= VM_WHATEVER" or "vma->vm_flags |= VM_WHATEVER" operation
with an intermediate store of unrelated bits set, since I'm here foregoing
its usual protection by mmap_sem, try_to_unmap_one() might catch sight of
a spurious VM_LOCKED in vm_flags, and make the wrong decision. This does
not appear to be an immediate problem, but we may want to define vm_flags
accessors in future, to guard against such a possibility.
While we're here, make a related optimization in try_to_munmap_one(): if
it's doing TTU_MUNLOCK, then there's no point at all in descending the
page tables and getting the pt lock, unless the vma is VM_LOCKED. Yes,
that can change racily, but it can change racily even without the
optimization: it's not critical. Far better not to waste time here.
Stopped short of separating try_to_munlock_one() from try_to_munmap_one()
on this occasion, but that's probably the sensible next step - with a
rename, given that try_to_munlock()'s business is to try to set Mlocked.
Updated the unevictable-lru Documentation, to remove its reference to mmap
semaphore, but found a few more updates needed in just that area.

Don't fail the lookup if running into stale stable_nodes, just restart the

We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and
uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for
charging slab pages (i.e. they are only used for charging pages allocated
with alloc_kmem_pages). The only reason why the slab subsystem uses
special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it
needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges
to the memcg that the current task belongs to.
To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to
__memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL. If it is
not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to,
otherwise it charge to the current context. Next, it makes the slab
subsystem use this function to charge slab pages.
Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only
in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined. Since
__memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we
don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages.
Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading
/proc/kpagecgroup.
Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design. Since this
design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any
difference.

Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps. First, we try to charge the
allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate
a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the
page struct.
Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in
trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't
be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after
doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post
factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless.
So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the
"commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page.
Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and
memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead
of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

Removing the lower 2MB made the start of the lowmem zone to no longer be
page block aligned. IFC6410 uses CONFIG_FLATMEM where alloc_node_mem_map
allocates memory for the mem_map. alloc_node_mem_map will offset for
unaligned nodes with the assumption the pfn/page translation functions
will account for the offset. The functions for CONFIG_FLATMEM do not
offset however, resulting in overrunning the memmap array. Just use the
allocated memmap without any offset when running with CONFIG_FLATMEM to
avoid the overrun.

(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't
care less and the change is ok.
(2) ppc and mips, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch
predictions as it seems to be pointless[1] and thus callers should not
be trying to push an optimization in the first place.
(3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an
unlikely compiler flag already.
Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().

Both "child->mm == mm" and "p->mm != mm" checks in oom_kill_process() are
wrong. task->mm can be NULL if the task is the exited group leader. This
means in particular that "kill sharing same memory" loop can miss a
process with a zombie leader which uses the same ->mm.
Note: the process_has_mm(child, p->mm) check is still not 100% correct,
p->mm can be NULL too. This is minor, but probably deserves a fix or a

The fatal_signal_pending() was added to suppress unnecessary "sharing same
memory" message, but it can't 100% help anyway because it can be
false-negative; SIGKILL can be already dequeued.
And worse, it can be false-positive due to exec or coredump. exec is
mostly fine, but coredump is not. It is possible that the group leader
has the pending SIGKILL because its sub-thread originated the coredump, in
this case we must not skip this process.
We could probably add the additional ->group_exit_task check but this
patch just removes the wrong check along with pr_info().

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.
A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.
The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.
Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

Compaction returns prematurely with COMPACT_PARTIAL when contended or has
fatal signal pending. This is ok for the callers, but might be misleading
in the traces, as the usual reason to return COMPACT_PARTIAL is that we
think the allocation should succeed. After this patch we distinguish the
premature ending condition in the mm_compaction_finished and
mm_compaction_end tracepoints.
The contended status covers the following reasons:
- lock contention or need_resched() detected in async compaction
- fatal signal pending
- too many pages isolated in the zone (only for async compaction)
Further distinguishing the exact reason seems unnecessary for now.

At the for_each_process() loop in oom_kill_process(), we are comparing

there are a lot of processes to compare or a lot of "Kill process %d (%s)
sharing same memory" messages to print, for_each_process() loop could take
very long time.
It is possible that meanwhile the OOM victim exits and releases its mm,
and then mm is allocated with the same address and assigned to some
unrelated process. When we hit such race, the unrelated process will be
killed by error. To make sure that the OOM victim's mm does not go away
until for_each_process() loop finishes, get a reference on the OOM
victim's mm before calling task_unlock(victim).

It was confirmed that a local unprivileged user can consume all memory
reserves and hang up that system using time lag between the OOM killer
sets TIF_MEMDIE on an OOM victim and sends SIGKILL to that victim, for
printk() inside for_each_process() loop at oom_kill_process() can consume
many seconds when there are many thread groups sharing the same memory.
Before starting oom-depleter process:
Node 0 DMA: 3*4kB (UM) 6*8kB (U) 4*16kB (UEM) 0*32kB 0*64kB 1*128kB (M) 2*256kB (EM) 2*512kB (UE) 2*1024kB (EM) 1*2048kB (E) 1*4096kB (M) = 9980kB
Node 0 DMA32: 31*4kB (UEM) 27*8kB (UE) 32*16kB (UE) 13*32kB (UE) 14*64kB (UM) 7*128kB (UM) 8*256kB (UM) 8*512kB (UM) 3*1024kB (U) 4*2048kB (UM) 362*4096kB (UM) = 1503220kB
As of invoking the OOM killer:
Node 0 DMA: 11*4kB (UE) 8*8kB (UEM) 6*16kB (UE) 2*32kB (EM) 0*64kB 1*128kB (U) 3*256kB (UEM) 2*512kB (UE) 3*1024kB (UEM) 1*2048kB (U) 0*4096kB = 7308kB
Node 0 DMA32: 1049*4kB (UEM) 507*8kB (UE) 151*16kB (UE) 53*32kB (UEM) 83*64kB (UEM) 52*128kB (EM) 25*256kB (UEM) 11*512kB (M) 6*1024kB (UM) 1*2048kB (M) 0*4096kB = 44556kB
Between the thread group leader got TIF_MEMDIE and receives SIGKILL:
Node 0 DMA: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB
Node 0 DMA32: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB
The oom-depleter's thread group leader which got TIF_MEMDIE started
memset() in user space after the OOM killer set TIF_MEMDIE, and it was
free to abuse ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS by TIF_MEMDIE for memset() in user space
until SIGKILL is delivered. If SIGKILL is delivered before TIF_MEMDIE is
set, the oom-depleter can terminate without touching memory reserves.
Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19
and earlier kernels because TIF_MEMDIE is set immediately before sending
SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can
step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for
terminating the OOM victim.

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to
complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during
writeback.
The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback
error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2).
However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl,
which don't check error status of individual mappings.
As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events
happen in the following order:
Application System admin
----------------------------------------------------------
write data on page cache
Run sync command
writeback completes with error
filemap_fdatawait() clears error
fsync returns success
(but the data is not on disk)
This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where
writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values:
1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead())
2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages)
There are devices, which require custom readahead limit.
For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices
multiplied by chunk size times 2.
Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value
(POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size).
If so, why do we need two limits?
I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and
use per-device readahead limit everywhere.
Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly
increase i/o performance:
before:
dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s

100+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s
(It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage).
This patch doesn't change sys_readahead and madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)
behavior introduced by 6d2be915e5 ("mm/readahead.c: fix readahead

Commit a2f3aa0257 ("[PATCH] Fix sparsemem on Cell") fixed an oops
experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions,
early_*(), are called at runtime by introducing an 'enum memmap_context'
parameter to memmap_init_zone() and init_currently_empty_zone(). This
parameter is intended to be used to tell whether the call of these two
functions is being made on behalf of a hotplug event, or happening at
boot-time. However, init_currently_empty_zone() does not use this
parameter at all, so remove it.

Migration tries up to 10 times to migrate pages that return -EAGAIN until
it gives up. If some pages fail all retries, they are counted towards the
number of failed pages that migrate_pages() returns. They should also be
counted in the /proc/vmstat pgmigrate_fail and in the mm_migrate_pages
tracepoint.

The functions used in the patch are in slowpath, which gets called
whenever alloc_super is called during mounts.
Though this should not make difference for the architectures with
sequential numa node ids, for the powerpc which can potentially have
sparse node ids (for e.g., 4 node system having numa ids, 0,1,16,17 is
common), this patch saves some unnecessary allocations for non existing
numa nodes.
Even without that saving, perhaps patch makes code more readable.

try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg. When it hits the limit
but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is
likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or
exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR.
While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has
several issues.
* It unnecessarily lies about the reality. The number itself doesn't
go over the limit but the actual usage does. memcg is either forced
to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the
right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine,
but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's
happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg.
* Despite trying, we already do over-charge. kmemcg can't deal with
switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns
-EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing.
* It complicates the callers. Each try_charge() user has to handle
the weird -EINTR exception. memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual
over-charging. mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary
uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what
memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on
root memcg. mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned
cgroup to the root one.
The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or
willing to go over the limit. Each such case needs to be scrutinized and
justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right
thing to do. We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent
disguise which leads to unnecessary complications.
This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when
deemed necessary. -EINTR return is removed along with all special case
handling in the callers.
While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero
and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always
zero @ret.

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.
This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.
As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.
- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.
- It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with
small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
path this issue can be avoided.

task_struct->memcg_oom is a sub-struct containing fields which are used
for async memcg oom handling. Most task_struct fields aren't packaged
this way and it can lead to unnecessary alignment paddings. This patch
flattens it.
* task.memcg_oom.memcg -> task.memcg_in_oom
* task.memcg_oom.gfp_mask -> task.memcg_oom_gfp_mask
* task.memcg_oom.order -> task.memcg_oom_order
* task.memcg_oom.may_oom -> task.memcg_may_oom
In addition, task.memcg_may_oom is relocated to where other bitfields are
which reduces the size of task_struct.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().
The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared.
probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.
My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.
This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single
probe_kernel_address() callsite.

On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc
configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first
kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is
"kmalloc-128" with index 7. Depending on the debug kernel configuration,
sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an
INDEX_NODE of 8.
Commit 8fc9cf420b ("slab: make more slab management structure off the
slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with
PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation
of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects
off-slab. However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and
freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size)
returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet). This triggers the
following bug on arm64:

In slub_order(), the order starts from max(min_order,
get_order(min_objects * size)). When (min_objects * size) has different
order from (min_objects * size + reserved), it will skip this order via a
check in the loop.
This patch optimizes this a little by calculating the start order with
`reserved' in consideration and removing the check in loop.
