With commit 09854ba94c ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification"), after COW,
the idle swap cache page (neither the page nor the corresponding swap
entry is mapped by any process) will be left in the LRU list, even if it's
in the active list or the head of the inactive list. So, the page
reclaimer may take quite some overhead to reclaim these actually unused
pages.
To help the page reclaiming, in this patch, after COW, the idle swap cache
page will be tried to be freed. To avoid to introduce much overhead to
the hot COW code path,
a) there's almost zero overhead for non-swap case via checking
PageSwapCache() firstly.
b) the page lock is acquired via trylock only.
To test the patch, we used pmbench memory accessing benchmark with
working-set larger than available memory on a 2-socket Intel server with a
NVMe SSD as swap device. Test results shows that the pmbench score
increases up to 23.8% with the decreased size of swap cache and swapin
throughput.

Before commit c10d38cc8d ("mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array
accesses to avoid NULL derefs"), the typical code to reference the
swap_info[] is as follows,
type = swp_type(swp_entry);
if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
/* handle invalid swp_entry */;
p = swap_info[type];
/* access fields of *p. OOPS! p may be NULL! */
Because the ordering isn't guaranteed, it's possible that swap_info[type]
is read before "nr_swapfiles". And that may result in NULL pointer
dereference.
So after commit c10d38cc8d, the code becomes,
struct swap_info_struct *swap_type_to_swap_info(int type)
{
if (type >= READ_ONCE(nr_swapfiles))
return NULL;
smp_rmb();
return READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]);
}
/* users */
type = swp_type(swp_entry);
p = swap_type_to_swap_info(type);
if (!p)
/* handle invalid swp_entry */;
/* dereference p */
Where the value of swap_info[type] (that is, "p") is checked to be
non-zero before being dereferenced. So, the NULL deferencing becomes
impossible even if "nr_swapfiles" is read after swap_info[type].
Therefore, the "smp_rmb()" becomes unnecessary.
And, we don't even need to read "nr_swapfiles" here. Because the non-zero
checking for "p" is sufficient. We just need to make sure we will not
access out of the boundary of the array. With the change, nr_swapfiles
will only be accessed with swap_lock held, except in
swapcache_free_entries(). Where the absolute correctness of the value
isn't needed, as described in the comments.
We still need to guarantee swap_info[type] is read before being
dereferenced. That can be satisfied via the data dependency ordering
enforced by READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]). This needs to be paired with
proper write barriers. So smp_store_release() is used in
alloc_swap_info() to guarantee the fields of *swap_info[type] is
initialized before swap_info[type] itself being written. Note that the
fields of *swap_info[type] is initialized to be 0 via kvzalloc() firstly.
The assignment and deferencing of swap_info[type] is like
rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference().

The non_swap_entry() was used for working with VMA based swap readahead
via commit ec560175c0 ("mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead"). At that
time, the non_swap_entry() checking is necessary because the function is
called before checking that in do_swap_page(). Then it's moved to
swap_ra_info() since commit eaf649ebc3 ("mm: swap: clean up swap
readahead"). After that, the non_swap_entry() checking is unnecessary,
because swap_ra_info() is called after non_swap_entry() has been checked
already. The resulting code is confusing as the non_swap_entry() check
looks racy now because while we released the pte lock, somebody else might
have faulted in this pte. So we should check whether it's swap pte first
to guard against such race or swap_type will be unexpected. But the race
isn't important because it will not cause problem. We would have enough
checking when we really operate the PTE entries later. So we remove the
non_swap_entry() check here to avoid confusion.

Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6.
When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race
windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current
get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for
swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really
long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much
as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race
window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support
for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close
various race windows. More details can be found in the respective
changelogs.
This patch (of 4):
Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff
for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they
might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to
serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also
we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to
the nearest living ancestor wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup
writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups,
which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu
statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different
scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups.
Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode
detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single
operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct
inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because every
switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would
be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole batch counts as
a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight). This
allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however
prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively
blocking the frn switching.
A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not
enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in
a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a
new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in
other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the future
an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific
cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the
writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup
structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be
prohibitively expensive.
While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once
cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can
be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback
structure.
This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes
which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes
attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such
list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs
structures more efficiently.

Fix performance when BDI's share of ratio is 0.
The issue is similar to commit 74d3694433 ("writeback: Fix
performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh()").
Balance_dirty_pages and the writeback worker will also disagree on
whether writeback when a BDI uses BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT and BDI's share
of the thresh ratio is zero.
For example, A thread on cpu0 writes 32 pages and then
balance_dirty_pages, it will wake up background writeback and pauses
because wb_dirty > wb->wb_thresh = 0 (share of thresh ratio is zero).
A thread may runs on cpu0 again because scheduler prefers pre_cpu.
Then writeback worker may runs on other cpus(1,2..) which causes the
value of wb_stat(wb, WB_RECLAIMABLE) in wb_over_bg_thresh is 0 and does
not writeback and returns.
Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the
worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the
writeback worker hit the right dirty cpu or the dirty pages expire.
The fix that we should get the wb_stat_sum radically when thresh is low.

The page reporting order (threshold) is sticky to @pageblock_order by
default. The page reporting can never be triggered because the freeing
page can't come up with a free area like that huge. The situation becomes
worse when the system memory becomes heavily fragmented.
For example, the following configurations are used on ARM64 when 64KB base
page size is enabled. In this specific case, the page reporting won't be
triggered until the freeing page comes up with a 512MB free area. That's
hard to be met, especially when the system memory becomes heavily
fragmented.
PAGE_SIZE: 64KB
HPAGE_SIZE: 512MB
pageblock_order: 13 (512MB)
MAX_ORDER: 14
This allows the drivers to specify the page reporting order when the page
reporting device is registered. It falls back to @pageblock_order if it's
not specified by the driver. The existing users (hv_balloon and
virtio_balloon) don't specify it and @pageblock_order is still taken as
their page reporting order. So this shouldn't introduce any functional
changes.

PATCH[1/4] Fix some coding style in __page_reporting_request().
PATCH[2/4] Represents page reporting order with variable so that it can

local CPU variables. This is to be expected, but in this case, it doesn't
play well with PREEMPT_RT. The preemption disabled code section also
takes a spin-lock. Spin-locks in RT systems will try to schedule, which
is exactly what we're trying to avoid.
To mitigate this, convert the explicit preemption handling to local_locks.
Which are RT aware, and will disable migration instead of preemption when

This commit contains 3 modifications:
1. Convert the type of jiffies_scan_wait to "unsigned long".
2. Use READ/WRITE_ONCE() for accessing "jiffies_scan_wait".
3. Fix the possible wrong memory scanning period. If you set a large
memory scanning period like blow, then the "secs" variable will be
non-zero, however the value of "jiffies_scan_wait" will be zero.
echo "scan=0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
It is because the type of the msecs_to_jiffies()'s parameter is "unsigned
int", and the "secs * 1000" is larger than its max value. This in turn
leads a unexpected jiffies_scan_wait, maybe zero. We corret it by
replacing kstrtoul() with kstrtouint(), and check the msecs to prevent it
larger than UINT_MAX.

Obscuring the pointers that slub shows when debugging makes for some
confusing slub debug messages:
Padding overwritten. 0x0000000079f0674a-0x000000000d4dce17
Those addresses are hashed for kernel security reasons. If we're trying
to be secure with slub_debug on the commandline we have some big problems
given that we dump whole chunks of kernel memory to the kernel logs.
Let's force on the no_hash_pointers commandline flag when slub_debug is on
the commandline. This makes slub debug messages more meaningful and if by
chance a kernel address is in some slub debug object dump we will have a
better chance of figuring out what went wrong.
Note that we don't use %px in the slub code because we want to reduce the
number of places that %px is used in the kernel. This also nicely prints
a big fat warning at kernel boot if slub_debug is on the commandline so
that we know that this kernel shouldn't be used on production systems.

being hashed while slub_debug was on the kernel commandline. Let's force
on the no hash pointer option when slub_debug is on the kernel commandline
so that the prints are more meaningful.
The first two patches are something else I noticed while looking at the
code. The message argument is never used so the debugging messages are
not as clear as they could be and the slub_debug=- behavior seems to be
busted. Then there's a printf fixup from Joe and the final patch is the
one that force disables pointer hashing.
This patch (of 4):
Passing slub_debug=- on the kernel commandline is supposed to disable slub
debugging. This is especially useful with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON where the
default is to have slub debugging enabled in the build. Due to some code
reorganization this behavior was dropped, but the code to make it work
mostly stuck around. Restore the previous behavior by disabling the
static key when we parse the commandline and see that we're trying to
disable slub debugging.

SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef
SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it.
KUnit should be a proper replacement for it.
Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next
free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation
finds errors.
There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests
create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc
caches.
The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency
test got broken with freepointer changes.
Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in
this form where we need deterministic results.
Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer,
first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because
the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects.
Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports.
Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count
of pages is wrong.

On systems with memory nodes sorted in descending order, for instance Dell
Precision WorkStation T5500, the struct pages for higher PFNs and
respectively lower nodes, could be overwritten by the initialization of
struct pages corresponding to the holes in the memory sections.
For example for the below memory layout
[ 0.245624] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.248496] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff]
[ 0.251376] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff]
[ 0.254256] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff]
[ 0.257144] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff]
the range 0x1424000000 - 0x1428000000 in the beginning of node 0 starts in
the middle of a section and will be considered as a hole during the
initialization of the last section in node 1.
The wrong initialization of the memory map causes panic on boot when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.
Reorder loop order of the memory map initialization so that the outer loop
will always iterate over populated memory regions in the ascending order
and the inner loop will select the zone corresponding to the PFN range.
This way initialization of the struct pages for the memory holes will be
always done for the ranges that are actually not populated.

try_grab_compound_head() is used to grab a reference to a page from
get_user_pages_fast(), which is only protected against concurrent freeing
of page tables (via local_irq_save()), but not against concurrent TLB
flushes, freeing of data pages, or splitting of compound pages.
Because no reference is held to the page when try_grab_compound_head() is
called, the page may have been freed and reallocated by the time its
refcount has been elevated; therefore, once we're holding a stable
reference to the page, the caller re-checks whether the PTE still points
to the same page (with the same access rights).
The problem is that try_grab_compound_head() has to grab a reference on
the head page; but between the time we look up what the head page is and
the time we actually grab a reference on the head page, the compound page
may have been split up (either explicitly through split_huge_page() or by
freeing the compound page to the buddy allocator and then allocating its
individual order-0 pages). If that happens, get_user_pages_fast() may end
up returning the right page but lifting the refcount on a now-unrelated
page, leading to use-after-free of pages.
To fix it: Re-check whether the pages still belong together after lifting
the refcount on the head page. Move anything else that checks
compound_head(page) below the refcount increment.
This can't actually happen on bare-metal x86 (because there, disabling
IRQs locks out remote TLB flushes), but it can happen on virtualized x86
(e.g. under KVM) and probably also on arm64. The race window is pretty
narrow, and constantly allocating and shattering hugepages isn't exactly
fast; for now I've only managed to reproduce this in an x86 KVM guest with
an artificially widened timing window (by adding a loop that repeatedly
calls `inl(0x3f8 + 5)` in `try_get_compound_head()` to force VM exits, so
that PV TLB flushes are used instead of IPIs).
As requested on the list, also replace the existing VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() with
a warning and bailout. Since the existing code only performed the BUG_ON
check on DEBUG_VM kernels, ensure that the new code also only performs the
check under that configuration - I don't want to mix two logically
separate changes together too much. The macro VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE()
doesn't return a value on !DEBUG_VM, so wrap the whole check in an #ifdef
block. An alternative would be to change the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE()
definition for !DEBUG_VM such that it always returns false, but since that
would differ from the behavior of the normal WARN macros, it might be too
confusing for readers.

"There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.
It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
rather that take them via the -mm tree.
Summary:
- Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.
- Fix output format from SVE selftest.
- Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling
convention.
- Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
kernel and userspace.
- PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
attributes via sysfs.
- KASAN optimisations for both hardware tagging (MTE) and out-of-line
software tagging implementations.
- Relax frame record alignment requirements to facilitate 8-byte
alignment with KASAN and Clang.
- Cleanup of page-table definitions and removal of unused memory
types.
- Reduction of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN back to 64 bytes.
- Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of
some missing encodings.
- Move entry code moved into C and hardened against harmful compiler
instrumentation.
- Update booting requirements for the FEAT_HCX feature, added to v8.7
of the architecture.
- Fix resume from idle when pNMI is being used.
- Additional CPU sanity checks for MTE and preparatory changes for
systems where not all of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0.
- Update our kernel string routines to the latest Cortex Strings
implementation.
- Big cleanup of our cache maintenance routines, which were
confusingly named and inconsistent in their implementations.
- Tweak linker flags so that GDB can understand vmlinux when using
RELR relocations.
- Boot path cleanups to enable early initialisation of per-cpu
operations needed by KCSAN.
- Non-critical fixes and miscellaneous cleanup"

Pull scheduler udpates from Ingo Molnar:
- Changes to core scheduling facilities:
- Add "Core Scheduling" via CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y, which enables
coordinated scheduling across SMT siblings. This is a much
requested feature for cloud computing platforms, to allow the
flexible utilization of SMT siblings, without exposing untrusted
domains to information leaks & side channels, plus to ensure more
deterministic computing performance on SMT systems used by
heterogenous workloads.
There are new prctls to set core scheduling groups, which allows
more flexible management of workloads that can share siblings.
- Fix task->state access anti-patterns that may result in missed
wakeups and rename it to ->__state in the process to catch new
abuses.
- Load-balancing changes:
- Tweak newidle_balance for fair-sched, to improve 'memcache'-like
workloads.
- "Age" (decay) average idle time, to better track & improve
workloads such as 'tbench'.
- Fix & improve energy-aware (EAS) balancing logic & metrics.
- Fix & improve the uclamp metrics.
- Fix task migration (taskset) corner case on !CONFIG_CPUSET.
- Fix RT and deadline utilization tracking across policy changes
- Introduce a "burstable" CFS controller via cgroups, which allows
bursty CPU-bound workloads to borrow a bit against their future
quota to improve overall latencies & batching. Can be tweaked via
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/<X>/cpu.cfs_burst_us.
- Rework assymetric topology/capacity detection & handling.
- Scheduler statistics & tooling:
- Disable delayacct by default, but add a sysctl to enable it at
runtime if tooling needs it. Use static keys and other
optimizations to make it more palatable.
- Use sched_clock() in delayacct, instead of ktime_get_ns().
- Misc cleanups and fixes.

Dave Jones reported the following
This made it into 5.13 final, and completely breaks NFSD for me
(Serving tcp v3 mounts). Existing mounts on clients hang, as do
new mounts from new clients. Rebooting the server back to rc7
everything recovers.
The commit b3b64ebd38 ("mm/page_alloc: do bulk array bounds check after
checking populated elements") returns the wrong value if the array is
already populated which is interpreted as an allocation failure. Dave
reported this fixes his problem and it also passed a test running dbench
over NFS.

static checker warning:
mm/page_alloc.c:5338 __alloc_pages_bulk()
warn: potentially one past the end of array 'page_array[nr_populated]'
The problem can occur if an array is passed in that is fully populated.
That potentially ends up allocating a single page and storing it past
the end of the array. This patch returns 0 if the array is fully
populated.

In the event that somebody would call this with an already fully
populated page_array, the last loop iteration would do an access beyond
the end of page_array.
It's of course extremely unlikely that would ever be done, but this
triggers my internal static analyzer. Also, if it really is not
supposed to be invoked this way (i.e., with no NULL entries in
page_array), the nr_populated<nr_pages check could simply be removed
instead.

Currently me_huge_page() temporary unlocks page to perform some actions
then locks it again later. My testcase (which calls hard-offline on
some tail page in a hugetlb, then accesses the address of the hugetlb
range) showed that page allocation code detects this page lock on buddy
page and printed out "BUG: Bad page state" message.
check_new_page_bad() does not consider a page with __PG_HWPOISON as bad
page, so this flag works as kind of filter, but this filtering doesn't
work in this case because the "bad page" is not the actual hwpoisoned
page. So stop locking page again. Actions to be taken depend on the
page type of the error, so page unlocking should be done in ->action()
callbacks. So let's make it assumed and change all existing callbacks
that way.

When memory_failure() is called with MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on the page that
has already been hwpoisoned, memory_failure() could fail to send SIGBUS
to the affected process, which results in infinite loop of MCEs.
Currently memory_failure() returns 0 if it's called for already
hwpoisoned page, then the caller, kill_me_maybe(), could return without
sending SIGBUS to current process. An action required MCE is raised
when the current process accesses to the broken memory, so no SIGBUS
means that the current process continues to run and access to the error
page again soon, so running into MCE loop.
This issue can arise for example in the following scenarios:
- Two or more threads access to the poisoned page concurrently. If
local MCE is enabled, MCE handler independently handles the MCE
events. So there's a race among MCE events, and the second or latter
threads fall into the situation in question.
- If there was a precedent memory error event and memory_failure() for
the event failed to unmap the error page for some reason, the
subsequent memory access to the error page triggers the MCE loop
situation.
To fix the issue, make memory_failure() return an error code when the
error page has already been hwpoisoned. This allows memory error
handler to control how it sends signals to userspace. And make sure
that any process touching a hwpoisoned page should get a SIGBUS even in
"already hwpoisoned" path of memory_failure() as is done in page fault
path.
