Implements memfd sealing, similar to shmem:
- WRITE: deny fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE). mmap() write is denied in
memfd_add_seals(). write() doesn't exist for hugetlbfs.
- SHRINK: added similar check as shmem_setattr()
- GROW: added similar check as shmem_setattr() & shmem_fallocate()
Except write() operation that doesn't exist with hugetlbfs, that should
make sealing as close as it can be to shmem support.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3.
Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he
didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have
shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another
process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables
with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now
instead for convenience and security reasons.
This patch (of 9):
The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only. And no danger in
removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is
currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No
machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are
still supported, we don't optimise for them any more. This does not
shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for
future use.

The "third double word block" isn't on 32-bit systems. The layout looks
like this:
unsigned long flags;
struct address_space *mapping
pgoff_t index;
atomic_t _mapcount;
atomic_t _refcount;
which is 32 bytes on 64-bit, but 20 bytes on 32-bit. Nobody is trying to
use the fact that it's double-word aligned today, so just remove the
misleading claims.

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout
rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this.
The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so
the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to
be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct {
union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout,
but is easier to read.

the whitespace changes from the indentation:

Patch series "Restructure struct page", v2.
This series does not attempt any grand restructuring. Instead, it cures
the worst of the indentitis, fixes the documentation and reduces the
ifdeffery. The only layout change is compound_dtor and compound_order
are each reduced to one byte.
This patch (of 8):
Instead of an ifdef block at the end of the struct, which needed its own
comment, define _struct_page_alignment up at the top where it fits
nicely with the existing comment.

Structure zs_pool has special flag to indicate success of shrinker
initialization. unregister_shrinker() has improved and can detect by
itself whether actual deinitialization should be performed or not, so
extra flag becomes redundant.

This uses the new annotation to determine if an mm has mmu notifiers
with blockable invalidate range callbacks to avoid oom reaping.
Otherwise, the callbacks are used around unmap_page_range().

Commit 4d4bbd8526a8 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu
notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous
memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers
registered.
The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}()
around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom
killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not
be possible without reaping.
That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have
blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a
"flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that
these callbacks do not block.
The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as
after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom
victim.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before
scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process
which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in
uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a
long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the
below khugepaged hung issue:
INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1

So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the
semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to
scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so
that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then
khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the
current round full_scan.
And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a
little bit.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd. This
should take care of powerpc requirement. Only side effect is that we
mark the pmd invalid early. This can result in us blocking access to
the page a bit longer if we race against a thp split.

Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose
dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but
before set_pmd_at().
The patch change pmdp_invalidate() to make the entry non-present
atomically and return previous value of the entry. This value can be
used to check if CPU set dirty/accessed bits under us.
The race window is very small and I haven't seen any reports that can be
attributed to the bug. For this reason, I don't think backporting to
stable trees needed.

We need an atomic way to setup pmd page table entry, avoiding races with
CPU setting dirty/accessed bits. This is required to implement
pmdp_invalidate() that doesn't lose these bits.
On PAE we can avoid expensive cmpxchg8b for cases when new page table
entry is not present. If it's present, fallback to cpmxchg loop.

Patch series "Do not lose dirty bit on THP pages", v4.
Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose
dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but
before set_pmd_at().
The bug can lead to data loss, but the race window is tiny and I haven't
seen any reports that suggested that it happens in reality. So I don't
think it worth sending it to stable.
Unfortunately, there's no way to address the issue in a generic way. We
need to fix all architectures that support THP one-by-one.
All architectures that have THP supported have to provide atomic
pmdp_invalidate() that returns previous value.
If generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() is used, architecture
needs to provide atomic pmdp_estabish().
pmdp_estabish() is not used out-side generic implementation of
pmdp_invalidate() so far, but I think this can change in the future.
This patch (of 12):
This is an implementation of pmdp_establish() that is only suitable for
an architecture that doesn't have hardware dirty/accessed bits. In this
case we can't race with CPU which sets these bits and non-atomic
approach is fine.

We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the
pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can
store it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have
two or six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives
us space to cram in an extra page.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that. That's a sign of a bad interface.
Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

If THP migration is enabled, for a VMA handled by userfaultfd, consider
the following situation,
do_page_fault()
__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page()
handle_userfault()
userfault_msg()
/* a huge page is allocated and mapped at fault address */
/* the huge page is under migration, leaves migration entry
in page table */
userfaultfd_must_wait()
/* return true because !pmd_present() */
/* may wait in loop until fatal signal */
That is, it may be possible for userfaultfd_must_wait() encounters a PMD
entry which is !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(). In the current
implementation, we will wait for such PMD entries, which may cause
unnecessary waiting, and potential soft lockup.
This is fixed via avoiding to wait when !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(),
only wait when pmd_none().
This may be not a problem in practice, because userfaultfd_must_wait()
is always called with mm->mmap_sem read-locked. mremap() will
write-lock mm->mmap_sem. And UFFDIO_COPY doesn't support to copy THP
mapping. But the change introduced still makes the code more correct,
and makes the PMD and PTE code more consistent.

memory
If start_code / end_code pointers are screwed then "VmExe" could be
bigger than total executable virtual memory and "VmLib" becomes
negative:
VmExe: 294320 kB
VmLib: 18446744073709327564 kB
VmExe and VmLib documented as text segment and shared library code size.
Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of
executable and not writable and not stack areas.
I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole
world inside. For it start_code .. end_code range also covers one of
rodata sections. Probably this is bug in customized linker, elf loader
or both.
Anyway CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE allows to change these pointers, thus
we cannot trust them without validation.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303d2 ("Allow
huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
acceptable to use the zone back then.
Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to
be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
movable zones.
Mel said:
: Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with
: the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of
: which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory
: useless pinned in the huge pages pool.
:
: I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of
: huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option
: should be ok.

Architectures like PPC64 support mmap hint address based large address
space selection. This test can be run on those architectures too. Move
the test from the x86 selftests to selftest/vm so that other
architectures can use it too.
We also add a few new test scenarios in this patch. We do test a few
boundary conditions before we do a high address mmap. PPC64 uses the
address limit to validate the address in the fault path. We had bugs in
this area w.r.t SLB fault handling before we updated the addess limit.
We also touch the allocated space to make sure we don't have any bugs in
the fault handling path.

Shakeel Butt reported he has observed in production systems that the job
loader gets stuck for 10s of seconds while doing a mount operation. It
turns out that it was stuck in register_shrinker() because some
unrelated job was under memory pressure and was spending time in
shrink_slab(). Machines have a lot of shrinkers registered and jobs
under memory pressure have to traverse all of those memcg-aware
shrinkers and affect unrelated jobs which want to register their own
shrinkers.
To solve the issue, this patch simply bails out slab shrinking if it is
found that someone wants to register a shrinker in parallel. A downside
is it could cause unfair shrinking between shrinkers. However, it
should be rare and we can add compilcated logic if we find it's not
enough.

We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen
seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost
cgroups pinned by lingering page cache.
Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat
is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this:
nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus
where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128
CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat
has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale.
Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the
per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters.
This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the
shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters
are implemented.
Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of
CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the
cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's
because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions
inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is
true for the memory controller.
Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates
during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is
an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.

The implementation of the lruvec stat functions and their variants for
accounting through a page, or accounting from a preemptible context, are
mostly identical and needlessly repetitive.
Implement the lruvec_page functions by looking up the page's lruvec and
then using the lruvec function.
Implement the functions for preemptible contexts by disabling preemption
before calling the atomic context functions.

Replace all raw 'this_cpu_' modifications of the stat and event per-cpu
counters with API functions such as mod_memcg_state().
This makes the code easier to read, but is also in preparation for the
next patch, which changes the per-cpu implementation of those counters.

in_atomic() has been moved to include/linux/preempt.h, and the filemap.c
doesn't use in_atomic() directly at all, so it sounds unnecessary to
include hardirq.h.

In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them
to buddy allocator. We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is
computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not
been initialized yet.
There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible
to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the
next memblock range.
This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into
two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them.
In addition, this patch brings the following improvements:
- Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by
adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid().
- Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher
chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside
hot loops.
- Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization
in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part
in multithreading.
Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are
introduced.
