Currently cma_debugfs_root is static storage. That is unnecessary since
it will be only used by next cma_debugfs_add_one(). We can just pass it
to following calling to save thisspace. Also remove useless idx
parameter.

find_get_pages_range() and find_get_pages_range_tag() already correctly
increment reference count on head when seeing compound page, but they
may still use page index from tail. Page index from tail is always
zero, so these functions don't work on huge shmem. This hasn't been a
problem because, AFAIK, nobody calls these functions on (huge) shmem.
Fix them anyway just in case.

This function is only used by built-in code, which makes perfect sense
given the purpose of it.

isolate_huge_page() expects we pass the head of hugetlb page to it:
bool isolate_huge_page(...)
{
...
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page);
...
}
While I really cannot think of any situation where we end up with a
non-head page between hands in do_migrate_range(), let us make sure the
code is as sane as possible by explicitly passing the Head. Since we
already got the pointer, it does not take us extra effort.

Andrea has noted that page migration code propagates page_mapping(page)
through the whole migration stack down to migrate_page() function so it
seems stupid to then use page_mapping(page) in expected_page_refs()
instead of passed down 'mapping' argument. I agree so let's make
expected_page_refs() more in line with the rest of the migration stack.

Many kernel-doc comments in mm/ have the return value descriptions
either misformatted or omitted at all which makes kernel-doc script
unhappy:
$ make V=1 htmldocs
...
./mm/util.c:36: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup
./mm/util.c:41: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup'
./mm/util.c:57: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup_const
./mm/util.c:66: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup_const'
./mm/util.c:75: info: Scanning doc for kstrndup
./mm/util.c:83: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrndup'
...
Fixing the formatting and adding the missing return value descriptions
eliminates ~100 such warnings.

Some kernel-doc comments in mm/vmalloc.c have leading tab in
indentation. This leads to excessive indentation in the generated HTML
and to the inconsistency of its layout ([1] vs [2]).
Besides, multi-line Note: sections are not handled properly with extra
indentation.

Number of online NUMA nodes can't be negative as well. This doesn't
save space as the variable is used only in 32-bit context, but do it

seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is
valid and so "si" can be NULL.
Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to
ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order:
CPU0 CPU1
alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type]
Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before
CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type].
Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads
properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage.
Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model
(see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt).
This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held
(e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles
and the swap_info array.

On path shrink_inactive_list() ---> shrink_page_list() we allocate stack
variables for the statistics twice. This is completely useless, and
this just consumes stack much more, then we really need.
The patch kills duplicate stack variables from shrink_page_list(), and
this reduce stack usage and object file size significantly:
Stack usage:
Before: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list 648 static

ksmd needs to search the stable tree to look for the suitable KSM page,
but the KSM page might be locked for a while due to i.e. KSM page rmap
walk. Basically it is not a big deal since commit 2c653d0ee2ae ("ksm:
introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page deduplication limit"), since
max_page_sharing limits the number of shared KSM pages.
But it still sounds not worth waiting for the lock, the page can be
skip, then try to merge it in the next scan to avoid potential stall if
its content is still intact.
Introduce trylock mode to get_ksm_page() to not block on page lock, like
what try_to_merge_one_page() does. And, define three possible
operations (nolock, lock and trylock) as enum type to avoid stacking up
bools and make the code more readable.
Return -EBUSY if trylock fails, since NULL means not find suitable KSM
page, which is a valid case.
With the default max_page_sharing setting (256), there is almost no
observed change comparing lock vs trylock.
However, with ksm02 of LTP, the reduced ksmd full scan time can be
observed, which has set max_page_sharing to 786432. With lock version,
ksmd may tak 10s - 11s to run two full scans, with trylock version ksmd
may take 8s - 11s to run two full scans. And, the number of
pages_sharing and pages_to_scan keep same. Basically, this change has
no harm.

Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can
only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about
transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis.
For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1,
which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's
fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg,
since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any
memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that,
but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

In current implementation, both kswapd and direct reclaim has to iterate
all mem cgroups. It is not a problem before offline mem cgroups could
be iterated. But, currently with iterating offline mem cgroups, it
could be very time consuming. In our workloads, we saw over 400K mem
cgroups accumulated in some cases, only a few hundred are online memcgs.
Although kswapd could help out to reduce the number of memcgs, direct
reclaim still get hit with iterating a number of offline memcgs in some
cases. We experienced the responsiveness problems due to this
occassionally.
A simple test with pref shows it may take around 220ms to iterate 8K
memcgs in direct reclaim:
dd 13873 [011] 578.542919: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin
dd 13873 [011] 578.758689: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_end
So for 400K, it may take around 11 seconds to iterate all memcgs.
Here just break the iteration once it reclaims enough pages as what
memcg direct reclaim does. This may hurt the fairness among memcgs.
But the cached iterator cookie could help to achieve the fairness more
or less.

Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions. We are looking forward
to migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly
remove the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also
benefiting from using memfd and contributing to it. Note staging
drivers are also not ABI and generally can be removed at anytime.
One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region
and mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any
"future" writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed
writeable-region active. This allows us to implement a usecase where
receivers of the shared memory buffer can get a read-only view, while
the sender continues to write to the buffer. See CursorWindow
documentation in Android for more details:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow
This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal.
To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
keeping the existing mmap active.
A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
behavior of the seal. This solves several side-effects pointed by Andy.
self-tests are provided in later patch to verify the expected semantics.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181111173650.GA256781@google.com/
Thanks a lot to Andy for suggestions to improve code.

This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated
out of CMA region. This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages
(due to page reference count) in the CMA area.
This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in
the CMA region. ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware
page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA
region results in page table allocation failures.
One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough
device. VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is
backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the
CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough
hash page table.
NOTE: We allocate the new page without using __GFP_THISNODE

This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch
with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and
optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and
Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new
results.
try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort.
It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the
page tables for all the processes in the system for each one.
This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its
complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing
all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also
makes similar changes to shmem_unuse.
Improvement
swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a
VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted.
Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util).
Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util).
Details
In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each
shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to
shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(),
iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of
each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside
of the RCU critical section.
In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and
unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the
processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass
each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk,
unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by
try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap
entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache.
If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat
the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times.
Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to
unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over
their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration.
In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using
the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call
swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte().
Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in
try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of
pages has been swapped back in.

As it's difficult to report where exactly the uninit value resides in
the mempolicy object, we have to guess a bit. mm/mempolicy.c:353
contains this part of mpol_rebind_policy():
if (!mpol_store_user_nodemask(pol) &&
nodes_equal(pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed, *newmask))
"mpol_store_user_nodemask(pol)" is testing pol->flags, which I couldn't
ever see being uninitialized after leaving mpol_new(). So I'll guess
it's actually about accessing pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed on line 354,
but still part of statement starting on line 353.
For w.cpuset_mems_allowed to be not initialized, and the nodes_equal()
reachable for a mempolicy where mpol_set_nodemask() is called in
do_mbind(), it seems the only possibility is a MPOL_PREFERRED policy
with empty set of nodes, i.e. MPOL_LOCAL equivalent, with MPOL_F_LOCAL
flag. Let's exclude such policies from the nodes_equal() check. Note
the uninit access should be benign anyway, as rebinding this kind of
policy is always a no-op. Therefore no actual need for stable
inclusion.

If a memory cgroup contains a single process with many threads
(including different process group sharing the mm) then it is possible
to trigger a race when the oom killer complains that there are no oom
elible tasks and complain into the log which is both annoying and
confusing because there is no actual problem. The race looks as
follows:
P1 oom_reaper P2
try_charge try_charge
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory
mutex_lock(oom_lock)
out_of_memory
oom_kill_process(P1,P2)
wake_oom_reaper
mutex_unlock(oom_lock)
oom_reap_task
mutex_lock(oom_lock)
select_bad_process # no victim
The problem is more visible with many threads.
Fix this by checking for fatal_signal_pending from
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory when the oom_lock is already held.
The oom bypass is safe because we do the same early in the try_charge
path already. The situation migh have changed in the mean time. It
should be safe to check for fatal_signal_pending and tsk_is_oom_victim
but for a better code readability abstract the current charge bypass
condition into should_force_charge and reuse it from that path. "

There are two early memory allocations that use
memblock_alloc_node_nopanic() and do not check its return value.
While this happens very early during boot and chances that the
allocation will fail are diminishing, it is still worth to have proper

The variable 'addr' is redundant in arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(),
just use parameter 'addr0' directly. Then remove the const qualifier of
the parameter, and change its name to 'addr'.
And in according with other functions, remove the const qualifier of all
other no-pointer parameters in function arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown().

Since the start of the git history of Linux, the kernel after selecting
the worst process to be oom-killed, prefer to kill its child (if the
child does not share mm with the parent). Later it was changed to
prefer to kill a child who is worst. If the parent is still the worst
then the parent will be killed.
This heuristic assumes that the children did less work than their parent
and by killing one of them, the work lost will be less. However this is
very workload dependent. If there is a workload which can benefit from
this heuristic, can use oom_score_adj to prefer children to be killed
before the parent.
The select_bad_process() has already selected the worst process in the
system/memcg. There is no need to recheck the badness of its children
and hoping to find a worse candidate. That's a lot of unneeded racy
work. Also the heuristic is dangerous because it make fork bomb like
workloads to recover much later because we constantly pick and kill
processes which are not memory hogs. So, let's remove this whole
heuristic.

It's never appropriate to map a page allocated by SLAB into userspace.
A buggy device driver might try this, or an attacker might be able to
find a way to make it happen.
Christoph said:

memcg has a significant number of files exposed to kernfs where their
value is either exposed directly or is "max" in the case of
PAGE_COUNTER_MAX.
This patch makes this generic by providing a single function to do this
work. In combination with the previous patch adding
mem_cgroup_from_seq, this makes all of the seq_show feeder functions
significantly more simple.

This is the start of a series of patches similar to my earlier
DEFINE_MEMCG_MAX_OR_VAL work, but with less Macro Magic(tm).
There are a bunch of places we go from seq_file to mem_cgroup, which
currently requires manually getting the css, then getting the mem_cgroup
from the css. It's in enough places now that having mem_cgroup_from_seq
makes sense (and also makes the next patch a bit nicer).

Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details. A

latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.

even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes
enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is
cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets
with no free pages. As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare
and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more
expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit.
Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned
unnecessarily on x86-64.
The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
differences in latency, success rates and scan rates. This is expected
as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
generally a good thing.

Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier. This
patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages. The
more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
until a pageblock with free pages is found. The scanners might meet
slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
of the free scanner accordingly.

As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
targets. Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails. This
patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.
The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
instead of being properly packed. Previous testing had indicated that
without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
scanner without this patch.

The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
the free list. The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block(). When the
fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
low-order free pages. This can cause the migration source/target
scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.
This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
responsibility of updating that information in the callers. The fast
scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
pageblock is full or nearly full. The linear scanner will update
skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
scanned. The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
search.

The impact to latency is higher than the last version but it appears to
be due to a slight increase in the free scan rates which is a potential
side-effect of the patch. However, this is necessary for later patches
that are more careful about how pageblocks are treated as earlier
iterations of those patches hit corner cases where the restarts were
punishing and very visible.

Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled. This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator. This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.
The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated. It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.

With incremental changes, compact_should_abort no longer makes any
documented sense. Rename to compact_check_resched and update the
associated comments. There is no benefit other than reducing redundant
code and making the intent slightly clearer. It could potentially be
merged with earlier patches but it just makes the review slightly
harder.

Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the
basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode. However, if the
cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped
due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not
matter. This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock
with isolation candidates is found.
The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the
async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless
work. Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted
recently.

When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge
pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late
after a lot of setup and checking. This patch short-cuts the check to
make it earlier. It might still change when the lock is acquired but
this has less overhead overall. The free scanner advances but the
migration scanner does not. Typically the free scanner encounters more
movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and
also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its
portion of the physical address space with data. This could change in
the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and
incurred fewer scan restarts.
The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the
free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by
3.3%. The 2-socket results are not materially different.

Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active. The
consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
sources behind.
This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs. When
it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
that block and then abort. This will have a variable impact on latency
as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
latency).

Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner. Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete. The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times. Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.
This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned. If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation. This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping. On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit. A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.
The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case. When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
quickly locate a migration target. The search is different in that
lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
the search is still bound. This is justified on the grounds that the
free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
scanner.
If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
enough pages were isolated. For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
skipping in the near future.

Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
for migration. This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
all the others. It also allows a race between requests on which first
allocates the resulting free block.
This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
scanner carefully. When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
the block is already in use. Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
exclusive use. Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range. While
this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space. Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate. These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.
The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP. It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block. The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails. After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page. If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.
If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases. Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.
