The param "start" actually referes to the physical memory start, which is
to be mapped into virtual area vma. And it is the field vma->vm_start
which stands for the start of the area.
Most of the time, we do not read through whole implementation of a
function but only the definition and essential comments. Accurate
comments are definitely the base stone.

Userfaultfd fault path was by default killable even if the caller does not
have FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE. That makes sense before in that when with gup
we don't have FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE properly set before. Now after previous
patch we've got FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE applied even for gup code so it should
also make sense to let userfaultfd to honor the FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE.
Because we're unconditionally setting FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE in gup code
right now, this patch should have no functional change. It also cleaned
the code a little bit by introducing some helpers.

The existing gup code does not react to the fatal signals in many code
paths. For example, in one retry path of gup we're still using
down_read() rather than down_read_killable(). Also, when doing page
faults we don't pass in FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE as well, which means that
within the faulting process we'll wait in non-killable way as well. These
were spotted by Linus during the code review of some other patches.
Let's allow the gup code to react to fatal signals to improve the
responsiveness of threads when during gup and being killed.

This is the gup counterpart of the change that allows the VM_FAULT_RETRY
to happen for more than once. One thing to mention is that we must check
the fatal signal here before retry because the GUP can be interrupted by
that, otherwise we can loop forever.

The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].
Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.
This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event. Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.
Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):
- ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is the first try
- ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is not the first try
- !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
to retry at all
- !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used
In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths. One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.
This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault. It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.
GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

handle_userfaultfd() is currently the only one place in the kernel page
fault procedures that can respond to non-fatal userspace signals. It was
trying to detect such an allowance by checking against USER & KILLABLE
flags, which was "un-official".
In this patch, we introduced a new flag (FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE) to show
that the fault handler allows the fault procedure to respond even to
non-fatal signals. Meanwhile, add this new flag to the default fault
flags so that all the page fault handlers can benefit from the new flag.
With that, replacing the userfault check to this one.
Since the line is getting even longer, clean up the fault flags a bit too
to ease TTY users.
Although we've got a new flag and applied it, we shouldn't have any
functional change with this patch so far.

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them
are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags. Say,
merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried,
and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL.
Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial
page fault flags that were copied over. With this, it'll be far easier to
introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead
of touching all the archs.

This patch removes the risk path in handle_userfault() then we will be
sure that the callers of handle_mm_fault() will know that the VMAs might

as well since the core mm code now can handle the nonfatal userspace
signals even if we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

The idea comes from the upstream discussion between Linus and Andrea:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20171102193644.GB22686@redhat.com/
A summary to the issue: there was a special path in handle_userfault() in
the past that we'll return a VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when we detected non-fatal
signals when waiting for userfault handling. We did that by reacquiring
the mmap_sem before returning. However that brings a risk in that the
vmas might have changed when we retake the mmap_sem and even we could be
holding an invalid vma structure.
This patch is a preparation of removing that special path by allowing the
page fault to return even faster if we were interrupted by a non-fatal
signal during a user-mode page fault handling routine.

It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same
check across archs. More importantly, this will be an unified place that
we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so
it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling
signals later on for all the archs.
Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper,
because some archs have their own way to handle signals. In the follow up
patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs.
Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used
yet. It'll be used very soon. Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid
touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

Patch series "mm: Page fault enhancements", v6.
This series contains cleanups and enhancements to current page fault
logic. The whole idea comes from the discussion between Andrea and Linus
on the bug reported by syzbot here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/2/833
Basically it does two things:
(a) Allows the page fault logic to be more interactive on not only
SIGKILL, but also the rest of userspace signals, and,
(b) Allows the page fault retry (VM_FAULT_RETRY) to happen for more
than once.
For (a): with the changes we should be able to react faster when page
faults are working in parallel with userspace signals like SIGSTOP and
SIGCONT (and more), and with that we can remove the buggy part in
userfaultfd and benefit the whole page fault mechanism on faster signal
processing to reach the userspace.
For (b), we should be able to allow the page fault handler to loop for
even more than twice. Some context: for now since we have
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY we can allow to retry the page fault once with the
same interrupt context, however never more than twice. This can be not
only a potential cleanup to remove this assumption since AFAIU the code
itself doesn't really have this twice-only limitation (though that should
be a protective approach in the past), at the same time it'll greatly
simplify future works like userfaultfd write-protect where it's possible
to retry for more than twice (please have a look at [1] below for a
possible user that might require the page fault to be handled for a third
time; if we can remove the retry limitation we can simply drop that patch
and those complexity).
This patch (of 16):
There's plenty of places around __get_user_pages() that has a parameter
"nonblocking" which does not really mean that "it won't block" (because it
can really block) but instead it shows whether the mmap_sem is released by
up_read() during the page fault handling mostly when VM_FAULT_RETRY is
returned.
We have the correct naming in e.g. get_user_pages_locked() or
get_user_pages_remote() as "locked", however there're still many places
that are using the "nonblocking" as name.
Renaming the places to "locked" where proper to better suite the
functionality of the variable. While at it, fixing up some of the
comments accordingly.

If a task is getting moved out of the OOMing cgroup, it might result in
unexpected OOM killings if memory.oom.group is used anywhere in the cgroup
tree.
Imagine the following example:
A (oom.group = 1)
/ \
(OOM) B C
Let's say B's memory.max is exceeded and it's OOMing. The OOM killer
selects a task in B as a victim, but someone asynchronously moves the task
into C. mem_cgroup_get_oom_group() will iterate over all ancestors of C
up to the root cgroup. In theory it had to stop at the oom_domain level -
the memory cgroup which is OOMing. But because B is not an ancestor of C,
it's not happening. Instead it chooses A (because it's oom.group is set),
and kills all tasks in A. This behavior is wrong because the OOM happened
in B, so there is no reason to kill anything outside.
Fix this by checking it the memory cgroup to which the task belongs is a
descendant of the oom_domain. If not, memory.oom.group should be ignored,
and the OOM killer should kill only the victim task.

Currently multiple locations in memcg code, css_tryget_online() is being
used. However it doesn't matter whether the cgroup is online for the
callers. Online used to matter when we had reparenting on offlining and
we needed a way to prevent new ones from showing up.
The failure case for couple of these css_tryget_online usage is to
fallback to root_mem_cgroup which kind of make bypassing the memcg
limits possible for some workloads. For example creating an inotify
group in a subcontainer and then deleting that container after moving the
process to a different container will make all the event objects
allocated for that group to the root_mem_cgroup. So, using
css_tryget_online() is dangerous for such cases.
Two locations still use the online version. The swapin of offlined
memcg's pages and the memcg kmem cache creation. The kmem cache indeed
needs the online version as the kernel does the reparenting of memcg
kmem caches. For the swapin case, it has been left for later as the
fallback is not really that concerning.
With swap accounting enabled, if the memcg of the swapped out page is
not online then the memcg extracted from the given 'mm' will be charged
and if 'mm' is NULL then root memcg will be charged. However I could
not find a code path where the given 'mm' will be NULL for swap-in
case.

Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its
own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says. The
reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make
delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all
memory.low up the tree.
Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire
subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection
allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly
undesirable in real life scenarios.
Consider memory in a data center host. At the cgroup top level, we have a
distinction between system management software and the actual workload the
system is executing. Both branches are further subdivided into individual
services, job components etc.
We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management
software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize
individual workload wrt each other. Their memory demand can vary over
time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the
workload subtree. Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to
allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order
to get protection from system management software in general. This
results in very inefficient resource distribution.
Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the
complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels
to be informed about decisions made at the host-level. Consider a
container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of
cgroups to run multiple workloads. It'd be extremely difficult to
configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand
balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also
reflecting the host-level protection from e.g. rpm upgrades, that lie
beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree.
It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to
be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be
effective.
To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this
patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar
to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource
allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to
the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating,
children to further specify distribution rules.
That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings,
those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like
they are now. However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not
fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is
applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size. Since
reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in
that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings -
with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was
enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally
within the subtree. But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the
cgroups in neighboring trees.
E.g. a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that
it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just
that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings.
This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another
(system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each
other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without
nested groups having to echo higher-level settings.
The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection.
Consider the following example tree:
A A: low = 2G
/ \ A1: low = 1G
A1 A2 A2: low = 0G
As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed
protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split
evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G.
There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the
top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high
"bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree. Such
setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and
distributing it would change the intended behavior. Be safe and hide the
new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

The effective protection of any given cgroup is a somewhat complicated
construct that depends on the ancestor's configuration, siblings'
configurations, as well as current memory utilization in all these groups.
It's done this way to satisfy hierarchical delegation requirements while
also making the configuration semantics flexible and expressive in complex
real life scenarios.
Unfortunately, all the rules and requirements are sparsely documented, and
the code is a little too clever in merging different scenarios into a
single min() expression. This makes it hard to reason about the
implementation and avoid breaking semantics when making changes to it.
This patch documents each semantic rule individually and splits out the
handling of the overcommit case from the regular case.
Michal Koutný also points out that the points of equilibrium as described
in the existing example scenarios aren't actually accurate. Delete these
examples for now to avoid confusion.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: recursive memory.low protection", v3.
The current memory.low (and memory.min) semantics require protection to be
assigned to a cgroup in an untinterrupted chain from the top-level cgroup
all the way to the leaf.
In practice, we want to protect entire cgroup subtrees from each other
(system management software vs. workload), but we would like the VM to
balance memory optimally *within* each subtree, without having to make
explicit weight allocations among individual components. The current
semantics make that impossible.
They also introduce unmanageable complexity into more advanced resource
trees. For example:
host root
`- system.slice
`- rpm upgrades

At a host-level perspective, we would like to protect the outer
workload.slice subtree as a whole from rpm upgrades, logging etc. But for
that to be effective, right now we'd have to propagate it down through the
container, the inner workload.slice, into the job cgroup and ultimately
the component cgroups where memory is actually, physically allocated.
This may cross several tree delegation points and namespace boundaries,
which make such a setup near impossible.
CPU and IO on the other hand are already distributed recursively. The
user would simply configure allowances at the host level, and they would
apply to the entire subtree without any downward propagation.
To enable the above-mentioned usecases and bring memory in line with other
resource controllers, this patch series extends memory.low/min such that
settings apply recursively to the entire subtree. Users can still assign
explicit shares in subgroups, but if they don't, any ancestral protection
will be distributed such that children compete freely amongst each other -
as if no memory control were enabled inside the subtree - but enjoy
protection from neighboring trees.
In the above example, the user would then be able to configure shares of
CPU, IO and memory at the host level to comprehensively protect and
isolate the workload.slice as a whole from system.slice activity.
Patch #1 fixes an existing bug that can give a cgroup tree more protection
than it should receive as per ancestor configuration.
Patch #2 simplifies and documents the existing code to make it easier to
reason about the changes in the next patch.
Patch #3 finally implements recursive memory protection semantics.
Because of a risk of regressing legacy setups, the new semantics are
hidden behind a cgroup2 mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.
More details in patch #3.
This patch (of 3):
When memory.low is overcommitted - i.e. the children claim more
protection than their shared ancestor grants them - the allowance is
distributed in proportion to how much each sibling uses their own declared
protection:
low_usage = min(memory.low, memory.current)
elow = parent_elow * (low_usage / siblings_low_usage)
However, siblings_low_usage is not the sum of all low_usages. It sums
up the usages of *only those cgroups that are within their memory.low*
That means that low_usage can be *bigger* than siblings_low_usage, and
consequently the total protection afforded to the children can be
bigger than what the ancestor grants the subtree.
Consider three groups where two are in excess of their protection:
A/memory.low = 10G
A/A1/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A2/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A3/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 8G
siblings_low_usage = 8G (only A3 contributes)
A1/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 12.5G -> 10G
A2/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 12.5G -> 10G
A3/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(8G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 10.0G
(the 12.5G are capped to the explicit memory.low setting of 10G)
With that, the sum of all awarded protection below A is 30G, when A
only grants 10G for the entire subtree.
What does this mean in practice? A1 and A2 would still be in excess of
their 10G allowance and would be reclaimed, whereas A3 would not. As
they eventually drop below their protection setting, they would be
counted in siblings_low_usage again and the error would right itself.
When reclaim was applied in a binary fashion (cgroup is reclaimed when
it's above its protection, otherwise it's skipped) this would actually
work out just fine. However, since 1bc63fb127 ("mm, memcg: make scan
aggression always exclude protection"), reclaim pressure is scaled to
how much a cgroup is above its protection. As a result this
calculation error unduly skews pressure away from A1 and A2 toward the
rest of the system.
But why did we do it like this in the first place?
The reasoning behind exempting groups in excess from
siblings_low_usage was to go after them first during reclaim in an
overcommitted subtree:
A/memory.low = 2G, memory.current = 4G
A/A1/memory.low = 3G, memory.current = 2G
A/A2/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 2G
siblings_low_usage = 2G (only A1 contributes)
A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(2G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 2G
A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G
While the children combined are overcomitting A and are technically
both at fault, A2 is actively declaring unprotected memory and we
would like to reclaim that first.
However, while this sounds like a noble goal on the face of it, it
doesn't make much difference in actual memory distribution: Because A
is overcommitted, reclaim will not stop once A2 gets pushed back to
within its allowance; we'll have to reclaim A1 either way. The end
result is still that protection is distributed proportionally, with A1
getting 3/4 (1.5G) and A2 getting 1/4 (0.5G) of A's allowance.
[ If A weren't overcommitted, it wouldn't make a difference since each
cgroup would just get the protection it declares:
A/memory.low = 2G, memory.current = 3G
A/A1/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 1G
A/A2/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 2G
With the current calculation:
siblings_low_usage = 1G (only A1 contributes)
A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(1G) = 2G -> 1G
A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(1G) = 2G -> 1G
Including excess groups in siblings_low_usage:
siblings_low_usage = 2G
A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G -> 1G
A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G -> 1G ]
Simplify the calculation and fix the proportional reclaim bug by
including excess cgroups in siblings_low_usage.
After this patch, the effective memory.low distribution from the
example above would be as follows:
A/memory.low = 10G
A/A1/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A2/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A3/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 8G
siblings_low_usage = 28G
A1/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(28G) = 3.5G
A2/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(28G) = 3.5G
A3/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(8G) / siblings_low_usage(28G) = 2.8G

Patch series "mm: memcg: kmem API cleanup", v2.
This patchset aims to clean up the kernel memory charging API. It doesn't
bring any functional changes, just removes unused arguments, renames some
functions and fixes some comments.
Currently it's not obvious which functions are most basic
(memcg_kmem_(un)charge_memcg()) and which are based on them
(memcg_kmem_(un)charge()). The patchset renames these functions and
removes unused arguments:
TL;DR:
was:
memcg_kmem_charge_memcg(page, gfp, order, memcg)
memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg(memcg, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_charge(page, gfp, order)
memcg_kmem_uncharge(page, order)
now:
memcg_kmem_charge(memcg, gfp, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_uncharge(memcg, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_charge_page(page, gfp, order)
memcg_kmem_uncharge_page(page, order)
This patch (of 6):
The first argument of memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() and
__memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() is the page pointer and it's not used. Let's
drop it.
Memcg pointer is passed as the last argument. Move it to the first place
for consistency with other memcg functions, e.g.
__memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() or try_charge().

Sometimes we need to get a memcg pointer from a charged kernel object.
The right way to get it depends on whether it's a proper slab object or
it's backed by raw pages (e.g. it's a vmalloc alloction). In the first
case the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg indirection should be used; in
other cases it's just page->mem_cgroup.
To simplify this task and hide the implementation details let's use the
mem_cgroup_from_obj() helper, which takes a pointer to any kernel object
and returns a valid memcg pointer or NULL.
Passing a kernel address rather than a pointer to a page will allow to use
this helper for per-object (rather than per-page) tracked objects in the
future.
The caller is still responsible to ensure that the returned memcg isn't
going away underneath: take the rcu read lock, cgroup mutex etc; depending
on the context.
mem_cgroup_from_kmem() defined in mm/list_lru.c is now obsolete and can be
removed.

Memory barrier is needed after setting LRU bit, but smp_mb() is too
strong. Some architectures, i.e. x86, imply memory barrier with atomic
operations, so replacing it with smp_mb__after_atomic() sounds better,
which is nop on strong ordered machines, and full memory barriers on
others. With this change the vm-scalability cases would perform better on

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a70 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read). I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes). It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru. It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.
That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible
It looks they contribute the most overhead. The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only. However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline. However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.
Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.
With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM. Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.
The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
mainline w/ inline fix
150MB 154MB
With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up. The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.
Shakeel Butt did the below test:
On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100

not cause the lru lock contention. The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB

measured the time it took.
