The kmap_local conversion broke the ARM architecture, because the new
code assumes that all PTEs used for creating kmaps form a linear array
in memory, and uses array indexing to look up the kmap PTE belonging to
a certain kmap index.
On ARM, this cannot work, not only because the PTE pages may be
non-adjacent in memory, but also because ARM/!LPAE interleaves hardware
entries and extended entries (carrying software-only bits) in a way that
is not compatible with array indexing.
Fortunately, this only seems to affect configurations with more than 8
CPUs, due to the way the per-CPU kmap slots are organized in memory.
Work around this by permitting an architecture to set a Kconfig symbol
that signifies that the kmap PTEs do not form a lineary array in memory,
and so the only way to locate the appropriate one is to walk the page
tables.

Patch series "DAMON fixes".
This patch (of 2):
DAMON users can trigger below warning in '__alloc_pages()' by invoking
write() to some DAMON debugfs files with arbitrarily high count
argument, because DAMON debugfs interface allocates some buffers based
on the user-specified 'count'.
if (unlikely(order >= MAX_ORDER)) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp & __GFP_NOWARN));
return NULL;
}
Because the DAMON debugfs interface code checks failure of the
'kmalloc()', this commit simply suppresses the warnings by adding
'__GFP_NOWARN' flag.

Currently in the is_continue case in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte(), if we
bail out using "goto out_release_unlock;" in the cases where idx >=
size, or !huge_pte_none(), the code will detect that new_pagecache_page
== false, and so call restore_reserve_on_error(). In this case I see
restore_reserve_on_error() delete the reservation, and the following
call to remove_inode_hugepages() will increment h->resv_hugepages
causing a 100% reproducible leak.
We should treat the is_continue case similar to adding a page into the
pagecache and set new_pagecache_page to true, to indicate that there is
no reservation to restore on the error path, and we need not call
restore_reserve_on_error(). Rename new_pagecache_page to
page_in_pagecache to make that clear.

After the memory is freed, it can be immediately allocated by other
CPUs, before the "free" trace report has been emitted. This causes
inaccurate traces.
For example, if the following sequence of events occurs:
CPU 0 CPU 1
(1) alloc xxxxxx
(2) free xxxxxx
(3) alloc xxxxxx
(4) free xxxxxx
Then they will be inaccurately reported via tracing, so that they appear
to have happened in this order:
CPU 0 CPU 1
(1) alloc xxxxxx
(2) alloc xxxxxx
(3) free xxxxxx
(4) free xxxxxx
This makes it look like CPU 1 somehow managed to allocate memory that
CPU 0 still had allocated for itself.
In order to avoid this, emit the "free xxxxxx" tracing report just
before the actual call to free the memory, instead of just after it.

These functions are wrappers around zero_user_segments(), which means
that zero_user_segments() can now be called for compound pages even when
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled.
Use 'xend' as the name of the parameter to indicate that this is an
excluded end, not the more usual included end. Excluding the end makes
more sense to the callers, but can cause confusion to readers who are
more used to seeing included ends.

This reverts commit b9d02f1bdd.
The error handling of that patch was fundamentally broken, and it needs
to be entirely re-done.
For example, in shmem_write_begin() it would call shmem_getpage(), then
ignore the error return from that, and look at the page pointer contents
instead.
And in shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(), the patch tested PageHWPoison() on
a page pointer that two lines earlier had potentially been set as an
error pointer.
These issues could be individually fixed, but when it has this many
issues, I'm just reverting it instead of waiting for fixes.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"Various places in the kernel have picked up pidfds.
The two most recent additions have probably been the ability to use
pidfds in bpf maps and the usage of pidfds in mm-based syscalls such
as process_mrelease() and process_madvise().
The same pattern to turn a pidfd into a struct task exists in two
places. One of those places used PIDTYPE_TGID while the other one used
PIDTYPE_PID even though it is clearly documented in all pidfd-helpers
that pidfds __currently__ only refer to thread-group leaders (subject
to change in the future if need be).
This isn't a bug per se but has the potential to be one if we allow
pidfds to refer to individual threads. If that happens we want to
audit all codepaths that make use of them to ensure they can deal with
pidfds refering to individual threads.
This adds a simple helper to turn a pidfd into a struct task making it
easy to grep for such places. Plus, it gets rid of code-duplication"

virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as
system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are
actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible.
On the one hand, the virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks,
creating/removing busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other
hand, it logically (un)plugs memory inside added memory blocks,
dynamically either exposing them to the buddy or hiding them from the
buddy and marking them PG_offline.
In contrast to physical devices, like a DIMM, the virtio-mem driver is
required to actually make use of any of the device-provided memory,
because it performs the handshake with the hypervisor. virtio-mem
memory cannot simply be access via /dev/mem without a driver.
There is no safe way to:
a) Access plugged memory blocks via /dev/mem, as they might contain
unplugged holes or might get silently unplugged by the virtio-mem
driver and consequently turned inaccessible.
b) Access unplugged memory blocks via /dev/mem because the virtio-mem
driver is required to make them actually accessible first.
The virtio-spec states that unplugged memory blocks MUST NOT be written,
and only selected unplugged memory blocks MAY be read. We want to make
sure, this is the case in sane environments -- where the virtio-mem driver
was loaded.
We want to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody "accidentially"
accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed region. For example,
a user might spot a memory region in /proc/iomem and try accessing it via
/dev/mem via gdb or dumping it via something else. By the time the mmap()
happens, the memory might already have been removed by the virtio-mem
driver silently: the mmap() would succeeed and user space might
accidentially access unplugged memory.
So once the driver was loaded and detected the device along the
device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via /dev/mem to
it.
In an ideal world, we would mark the whole region as busy ("owned by a
driver") and exclude it; however, that would be wrong, as we don't really
have actual system RAM at these ranges added to Linux ("busy system RAM").
Instead, we want to mark such ranges as "not actual busy system RAM but
still soft-reserved and prepared by a driver for future use."
Let's teach iomem_is_exclusive() to reject access to any range with
"IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE", even if not busy and even
if "iomem=relaxed" is set. Introduce EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM to make it
easier for applicable drivers to depend on this setting in their Kconfig.
For now, there are no applicable ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next
to properly set IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource container it
creates to contain all actual busy system RAM added via
add_memory_driver_managed().

Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache. This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.
To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem. However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree. It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.
Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults. We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior. We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi. The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.
The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.
To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible. We've tried (commit a76cf1a474
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).
The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work. This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.
Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would. An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears. This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.
Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock). Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably. Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker. If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

After switched page size from 64KB to 4KB on several arm64 servers here,
kmemleak starts to run out of early memory pool due to a huge number of
those early_pgtable_alloc() calls:
kmemleak_alloc_phys()
memblock_alloc_range_nid()
memblock_phys_alloc_range()
early_pgtable_alloc()
init_pmd()
alloc_init_pud()
__create_pgd_mapping()
__map_memblock()
paging_init()
setup_arch()
start_kernel()
Increased the default value of DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE by 4 times
won't be enough for a server with 200GB+ memory. There isn't much
interesting to check memory leaks for those early page tables and those
early memory mappings should not reference to other memory. Hence, no
kmemleak false positives, and we can safely skip tracking those early
allocations from kmemleak like we did in the commit fed84c7852
("mm/memblock.c: skip kmemleak for kasan_init()") without needing to
introduce complications to automatically scale the value depends on the
runtime memory size etc. After the patch, the default value of
DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE becomes sufficient again.

DAMON-based operation schemes need to be manually turned on and off. In
some use cases, however, the condition for turning a scheme on and off
would depend on the system's situation. For example, schemes for
proactive pages reclamation would need to be turned on when some memory
pressure is detected, and turned off when the system has enough free
memory.
For easier control of schemes activation based on the system situation,
this introduces a watermarks-based mechanism. The client can describe
the watermark metric (e.g., amount of free memory in the system),
watermark check interval, and three watermarks, namely high, mid, and
low. If the scheme is deactivated, it only gets the metric and compare
that to the three watermarks for every check interval. If the metric is
higher than the high watermark, the scheme is deactivated. If the
metric is between the mid watermark and the low watermark, the scheme is
activated. If the metric is lower than the low watermark, the scheme is
deactivated again. This is to allow users fall back to traditional
page-granularity mechanisms.
