[ 108.843100] ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40
The bug is caused by the race between timeout handle and completion for
flush request.
When timeout handle function blk_mq_rq_timed_out() try to read
'req->q->mq_ops', the 'req' have completed and reinitiated by next
flush request, which would call blk_rq_init() to clear 'req' as 0.
After commit 12f5b93145 ("blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce"),
normal requests lifetime are protected by refcount. Until 'rq->ref'
drop to zero, the request can really be free. Thus, these requests
cannot been reused before timeout handle finish.
However, flush request has defined .end_io and rq->end_io() is still
called even if 'rq->ref' doesn't drop to zero. After that, the 'flush_rq'
can be reused by the next flush request handle, resulting in null
pointer deference BUG ON.
We fix this problem by covering flush request with 'rq->ref'.
If the refcount is not zero, flush_end_io() return and wait the
last holder recall it. To record the request status, we add a new
entry 'rq_status', which will be used in flush_end_io().

When brk was moved for binaries without an interpreter, it should have
been limited to ET_DYN only. In other words, the special case was an
ET_DYN that lacks an INTERP, not just an executable that lacks INTERP.

up in the middle of the text area on 32-bit architectures.

The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.
To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().
These changes were generated with the following shell script:
----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----
... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The mounting of jffs2 is broken due to the changes from the new mount API
because it specifies a "source" operation, but then doesn't actually
process it. But because it specified it, it doesn't return -ENOPARAM and
the caller doesn't process it either and the source gets lost.
Fix this by simply removing the source parameter from jffs2 and letting the
VFS deal with it in the default manner.
To test it, enable CONFIG_MTD_MTDRAM and allow the default size and erase
block size parameters, then try and mount the /dev/mtdblock<N> file that
that creates as jffs2. No need to initialise it.

For batched IO, it's not uncommon for waiters to ask for more than 1
IO to complete before being woken up. This is a problem with
wait_event() since tasks will get woken for every IO that completes,
re-check condition, then go back to sleep. For batch counts on the
order of what you do for high IOPS, that can result in 10s of extra
wakeups for the waiting task.
Add a private wake function that checks for the wake up count criteria
being met before calling autoremove_wake_function(). Pavel reports that
one test case he has runs 40% faster with proper batching of wakeups.

The default hard disk param sets latency targets at 50ms. As the
default target percentiles are zero, these don't directly regulate
vrate; however, they're still used to calculate the period length -
100ms in this case.
This is excessively low. A SATA drive with QD32 saturated with random
IOs can easily reach avg completion latency of several hundred msecs.
A period duration which is substantially lower than avg completion
latency can lead to wildly fluctuating vrate.
Let's bump up the default latency targets to 250ms so that the period
duration is sufficiently long.

Some IOs may span multiple periods. As latencies are collected on
completion, the inbetween periods won't register them and may
incorrectly decide to increase vrate. nr_lagging tracks these IOs to
avoid those situations. Currently, whenever there are IOs which are
spanning from the previous period, busy_level is reset to 0 if
negative thus suppressing vrate increase.
This has the following two problems.
* When latency target percentiles aren't set, vrate adjustment should
only be governed by queue depth depletion; however, the current code
keeps nr_lagging active which pulls in latency results and can keep
down vrate unexpectedly.
* When lagging condition is detected, it resets the entire negative
busy_level. This turned out to be way too aggressive on some
devices which sometimes experience extended latencies on a small
subset of commands. In addition, a lagging IO will be accounted as
latency target miss on completion anyway and resetting busy_level
amplifies its impact unnecessarily.
This patch fixes the above two problems by disabling nr_lagging
counting when latency target percentiles aren't set and blocking vrate
increases when there are lagging IOs while leaving busy_level as-is.

cecf5d87ff20 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks") starts to
release & acquire sysfs_lock before registering/un-registering elevator
queue during switching elevator for avoiding potential deadlock from
showing & storing 'queue/iosched' attributes and removing elevator's
kobject.
Turns out there isn't such deadlock because 'q->sysfs_lock' isn't
required in .show & .store of queue/iosched's attributes, and just
elevator's sysfs lock is acquired in elv_iosched_store() and
elv_iosched_show(). So it is safe to hold queue's sysfs lock when
registering/un-registering elevator queue.
The biggest issue is that commit cecf5d87ff20 assumes that concurrent
write on 'queue/scheduler' can't happen. However, this assumption isn't
true, because kernfs_fop_write() only guarantees that concurrent write
aren't called on the same open file, but the write could be from
different open on the file. So we can't release & re-acquire queue's
sysfs lock during switching elevator, otherwise use-after-free on
elevator could be triggered.
Fixes the issue by not releasing queue's sysfs lock during switching
elevator.

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.
A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].
- man-page material
MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)
Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.
MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

The local variable references in shrink_page_list is PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN
as default. It is for preventing to reclaim dirty pages when CMA try to
migrate pages. Strictly speaking, we don't need it because CMA didn't
allow to write out by .may_writepage = 0 in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.
Moreover, it has a problem to prevent anonymous pages's swap out even
though force_reclaim = true in shrink_page_list on upcoming patch. So
this patch makes references's default value to PAGEREF_RECLAIM and rename
force_reclaim with ignore_references to make it more clear.
This is a preparatory work for next patch.

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.
- Background
The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.
To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.
- Problem
Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.
- Approach
The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.
To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.
This patch (of 5):
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.
It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves
active file page -> inactive file LRU
active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU
Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.
* man-page material
MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)
Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.
MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.
